Barca president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club are edging closer to completing a deal for the 18-year-old midfielder, whose release clause stands at €17.5m. "He is a very young player, it is true that our scouts have been following him for a long time and many big clubs in Europe want him. We are talking to Fenerbahce,” Laporta told TV3.

The Spanish press also started to write about Arda Güler. There are rumors that Barcelona will sign him. It is also said that Barcelona will sign a 5-year contract with Arda Güler and will set the release clause as 1 billion Euros. There is even a statement by Laporta and it is known that Deco met with Arda Güler. I think this transfer is largely complete. They will transfer Arda Güler and let him play for Fenerbahçe for one more year. Then we will watch him in Barcelona. The process will go roughly like this.
I still remember Arda Turan in Barcelona.... ended being a very bad transfer, i dont know what happen to him, he was a A+ player when he comes from Atletico Madrid. So lets see how Arda guler develop.
For me this move from Barcelona shows they are very low on money.
