Barcelona winger Arda Turan is in talks over a possible move to the MLS with Chicago Fire.

The 30-year-old is surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou as Barcelona look to offload around eight players from their squad, to offset their prospective signings Philippe Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann and Yerry Mina.

Turkey international Turan has been offered to clubs in England and Italy. He has not figured for Barcelona under Ernesto Valverde this season.

Indeed, his only competitive action has been for his country as he figured in World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Iceland.

Turan, who has 100 caps for Turkey, would lose money by leaving Barcelona but recognises he needs to take up a new challenge in the twilight of his career.

Fire have also been in talks over re-signing Bastian Schweinsteiger for 2018. The former Germany international appeared 24 times in his debut MLS season.
