Barcelona have loaned former Turkey international Arda Turan to Istanbul Basaksehir for the rest of this season and two more, the Liga leader said in a statement Saturday.
Turan joined the club from Atletico Madrid for 34m euros ($41.46m) plus add ons in July 2015, winning six trophies but only making 55 appearances and scoring 15 goals.
Spanish newspaper Sport last week estimated it cost Barca one million euros for each appearance made by Turan, taking into account an annual salary reported to be 8m euros a year.
