Talks Begin as Man United Close in to Sign €40m Star

Atletico Madrid have already lost few key stars to Chelsea this summer as Courtoius returned from loan while Costa and Luis moved to Stamford Bridge.
Now, it seems that another superstar is on his way out of the club for a move to premier league. The player in discussion is Turkish international Arda Turan.
The former Galatasaray star has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool but now Manchester United have jumped in to lure the versatile attacker.
Turan was a key member of Atletico’s brilliant last campaign that saw them lift the league title and reach the Champions League final.
Different media outlets have different reports suggesting that United are keen to sign Arda Turan.
Daily Express claim that according to reports in Turan’s homeland Turkey, Manchester United have have turned their attention to Atletico’s playmaker after getting snubbed by Chilean star Arturo Vidal.
As per the provided link, United will have to meet the release clause of €40m to sign him and since they wanted to splash even a higher sum for Vidal, then €40m should not be a problem for the Red Devils.
On the other hand, Daily Star suggest that according to reports in France, Manchester United have already begun talks with the Spanish champions as they close in to sign Arda Turan.
However the major difference is that they claim United look to sign him for just €20m with Nani also moving in the other direction.
As Liverpool have signed Markovic and Arsenal lured Sanchez, United are currently the main contenders for Turan’s signature.
