Barcelona is going to release Arda

The management of Barcelona is considering the possibility to dissolve the contract of Arda Turan, sport.es reported.
The coach of the Catalans Ernesto Valverde has no intentions to rely on the Turkish star and has already reported that to the player. Arda was placed on the transfer list at `Camp Nou`, but for the moment there are no candidates for his signature.
In the winter, he had a solid offer from China, but he refused it because he wants to fight for his place at Barcelona. Turan has a contract until 2020, but the Spaniards have no intentions to give him on loan.
And after the termination of the contract, however, the 30-year-old midfielder will have the right to train with Leo Messi and his teammates, as if they refuse that, it would violate his rights.

Wenger about the Neymar`s transfer: `The figures are now comparable to those in the NBA.`

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed his outrage on the record transfer of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain. The specialist noted that the Londoners have no way to compete with clubs, which stand behind the entire countries. Wenger naturally refers to the French team, whose owner is Qatar Sports Investments.
`After some countries began to hold their own clubs, everything is possible and it is very difficult to observe the financial fair play. We still live in the rational. We are not the only ones in this regard since 99% of the clubs adviced by football-capper are doing the same, but of course, we can`t compete on that level.`
`Last year we passed the threshold of 100 million and only a year later, we passed the elevation of 200 million euros. When you think about it, that Trevor Francis was the first footballer to whom 1 million pounds were paid, which seemed reckless, you will see how far we have come and what has become`
`He went beyond any calculations and rationality. The figures are now comparable to those in the NBA. The price of a player depends on the identity of the purchaser and may not be placed in a market context. The financial potential of the buyer determines everything.`, said Wenger.
