Arda Turan is jetting off to meet his agent this weekend in a bid to resolve his future as Barcelona and Chelsea continue to vie for the Turkey captain's signature.

The 28-year-old posted an Instagram picture on the steps of a private jet on Saturday morning and announced he was flying off to see agent Ahmet Bulut.

And his future remains very much up in the air too as the champions of Spain and England both take steps to buy the Atletico Madrid playmaker.

Turan will leave Atletico Madrid this summer but his destination remains unclear

If Turan does join Barca he will not be able to play for them until 2016 due to a transfer ban

Barcelona are confident of wrapping up a £25m deal early next week, with coach Luis Enrique personally sanctioning his purchase before he headed off on holiday.

Turan would not be able to play in an official match until 2016, however, because of the FIFA-imposed ban on Barcelona registering players.

Another delay could arise from the forthcoming Barcelona presidential elections on July 18, with Turan possibly having to wait until the new president is named before he can officially sign.

Last season's president Josep Bartomeu, who is up against Joan Laporta in the vote, promised Enrique he would push through the move.

Barcelona's head coach Luis Enrique said he wanted the club to sign Turan despite the transfer ban

But the prospect of six months without competitive club football at the Nou Camp could see Chelsea swoop in to sign Turan.

And his former Atletico team-mate Diego Costa tried his best to lure Turan to Stamford Bridge by praising his homemade kebabs.

Costa told Turkish newspaper Bugun: 'It would be fantastic. Arda makes everything so much easier out on the pitch. Arda, Filipe (Luis) and I function perfectly.
