Barcelona a huge step in my career

Barcelona a huge step in my career - Arda

The midfielder has arrived in Catalunya ahead of his official contract signing on Friday and says he is raring to get started
Arda Turan says signing for Barcelona is a huge step forward in his career as he prepares for his official unveiling on Friday.
The Catalans have agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid to take the attacking midfielder to Camp Nou for a fee which could rise to €41 million, although the next club president could potentially opt to veto the deal.
The 28-year-old has now arrived in Barcelona ahead of his contract signing at the club offices on Friday and he claims to be raring to go.
"It's very important for my career and for my country to sign for Barcelona," the Turkey international told the club's official TV channel.
"It's a great day. I'm very excited and I'm ready to get going."
Under terms of Barca's transfer ban, Arda cannot make his official debut for the club until January 2016 at the earliest.
Fenerbahce have already confirmed they have made an offer to the Turkey international to play for the Super Lig giants on a loan deal until Barca's ban on fielding new players is lifted.
Arda is due to sign his contract with the European champions at 09:30CET before a press conference 30 minutes later.
