The Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly considering to sign Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan ahead of the new season.

The Turkish international has been strongly linked with a move away from the Catalans this summer, with Premier League giants Arsenal are believed to be closing on a move for the veteran midfielder earlier this month.

Turan’s agent Ahmet Bulut denied suggestions that the 30-year-old could leave Camp Nou ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, although according to Milliyet, the San Siro outfit are still hopeful of turning Turan’s head.

The playmaker has scored 12 goals for Barca across all competitions during the 2016-17 campaign, but only started 14 La Liga appearances, managing just three goals last term.

Meanwhile – the Italian giants are said to be prepared to sell Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic in the summer transfer window in order to fund a spending spree.
