Inter Milan are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

The 30-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Camp Nou this summer, with Arsenal believed to be closing in on a move for the experienced midfielder earlier this month.

Turan's agent Ahmet Bulut was quick to deny suggestions that the Turk could leave Barcelona ahead of the new season, although according to Milliyet, Inter are still confident of turning Turan's head.

Turan scored 12 times for his Spanish club in all competitions during the 2016-17 campaign, but he only started 14 La Liga fixtures, managing just three goals in the top flight last term.

Inter, meanwhile, are said to be prepared to sell midfield duo Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic this summer in order to fund a spending spree.
