Barcelona rule out Arda Turan loan move to Spurs
1 min read
There has been talk in some quarters of Tottenham wanting to take Barcelona new signing Arda Turan on loan because the Spanish champions have a transfer embargo and he can not represent the club competitively until January.
It seems a bit stupid to have a transfer embargo but allow a club to transfer and buy players, rather defeats the object of a transfer embargo. UEFA do like to pander to the big clubs though, the deal they struck with Manchester City over Financial Fair Play irregularities was a complete joke. They first imposed a fine which City appealed and managed to negotiate it down to a paltry £49 million, £32 million of which was suspended, so in effect only a £17 million fine or in layman's terms nothing.
Tottenham only want to loan players they can have a fixed price buy option for at the end of the loan, taking a player until January just upsets the season as you have then to replace him and players cost more in the winter window than they do in the summer window. A loan always seemed a far-fetched idea and Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has ruled our a loan move for Turan.
Enrique was making his first press conference of the new season ahead of a tour to America.

“[Arda Turan] can’t play until January. It’s not ideal, but I want him to stay with us until then. He’s not being considered at the moment, neither will the transfer of Arda Turan will considered."
