Ed, any interest in arda turan.
{Ed002's Note - Ahmet Bulut continues to whip things up, but this time he may be correct that Arda Turan will be available to move in the summer - however it will take a bid of around €40M for any sort of deal to happen - plus very significant wages and plus Champions League football. Atletico Madrid have twice rejected offers from Schalke but the only clubs that have shown any real interest at this time are Milan and Galatasaray, and the cost would be an issue. Don't rule out interest from Bayern Munich or Manchester United at some point. Bulut has spoken with a number of sides about the player - and there remains a slim chance that Arsenal, Chelsea or PSG could turn to Arda. The player has said that he would like to stay in Madrid, but Atletico may look to sell him if they can keep Koke and Griezmann - but they are already figuring that may not be the case.}

Does it look like they might lose one or both Ed?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained everything.}

Must say the prospect of signing Turan wouldn't excite me half as much as Griezmann. Hopefully we can overcome whatever obstacles are preventing a deal for Griezmann.

I think it's just a case of Chelsea actually paying the money required by Atletico for griezmann.

Griezman would be a fantastic buy. Atletico are heavily in debt and trying to build an expensive stadium so they will have a price.
