Report: Barcelona to activate Arda Turan release clause

Barcelona are reportedly preparing to activate the release clause of Atletico Madrid forward Arda Turan.

The Turkish international was a key part of Atletico's success during the 2013-14 campaign, with the Spanish outfit winning La Liga and reaching the final of the Champions League.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said last week that the Catalan outfit were not interested in moving for the 27-year-old this summer.

However, according to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, Barca are preparing to make a £33m move.

That particular figure would activate Turan's release clause.
