It is said that Manchester United Manager David Moyes wants Arda Turan. His Release clause is reported to be £33m. United are set to launch a bid for the Atletico Madrid star according to Sports Direct News.
A Turkish international and skilled wing player, Arda Turan has been eyed by numerous England clubs in the very recent past, but now the Red Devils are ready to step up their interest big time this month. The 26 year old is in his third year at Atletico who may feel he’s maxed out his potential at the La Liga side with a move to the England top flight the next logical step. And Old Trafford would be the best destination in the eyes of the former Galatasaray star. Of course, we heard this publicly just two days ago:
Arda Turan: “I have a contract with Atletico until 2017 and I am very happy at this club.”
Maybe a summer move is more likely than within the current January transfer window. Then, he wouldn’t have the obligations of UEFA Champions League
