Barça loanee Arda Turan faces up to 12 years in jail as a court trial is underway in Istanbul. He has been convicted of four charges of sexual harassment, grievous bodily harm, illegal possession of a firearm and discharging the weapon into the floor of a hospital ward. pic.twitter.com/7skp5kJkWV— Barça Insider (@theBarcaInsider) January 30, 2019 Turan was then confronted by Berkay Sahin. Arda responded by allegedly breaking Sahin's nose, thus hospitalizing the singer. During his recovery, Sahin was apparently visited by Arda in thie hospital, who carried a fire-arm and told Sahin: "Shoot me if you want."— Barça Insider (@theBarcaInsider) January 30, 2019 Turan denies any involvement of said incident in the night club but did say it was "not the correct thing to do" in regards to the hospital visit with a fire-arm.— Barça Insider (@theBarcaInsider) January 30, 2019 Sahin says he does not wish to see Arda spend even an hour in jail and will withdraw his allegations if Turan apologises. The next stage of the trial takes place on June 19th.— Barça Insider (@theBarcaInsider) January 30, 2019
Todibo playing great at Nice too since moving over in January and forming a CB partnership with Arsenal's loan out: https://www.ligue1.com/Articles/LIG...saliba-and-todibo-young-guns-to-nice-s-rescue Supposedly Nice can buy him out for 8.5m + 7m in variables. https://showsport.me/football/nice-primeira-liga-benfica-barcelona-269010 (the buyout when he was sent to Benfica was supposedly 20m, and it was at least 25m at Schalke).
Since this thread just got revived I did a quick dive into who is on loan (wikipedia lists just these 5 players (plus Emerson) who went on loan this past season, perhaps others went out on longer term loans?). FOR ALL their current loan ends June 2021, and only Todibo seems to have a buy option already in his contract. Alena - 23 years old, under Barca control till June 2022, current Transfermarkt value 16.5M Euros (peak 33M), with Getafe. Todibo - 21, June 2023, 13.2M (peak 15.4M), with Nice, who have buyout 8.5+7. Miranda - 21, June 2023, 5.5M current and peak, with Betis Monchu - 21, June 2022, 4.4M (peak 5.5M), with Girona Wague - 22, June 2023, 4.4M (peak 8.25M), with PAOK, long term injury out till September. Weird co-buy: Emerson Royal - 22, June 2024, 22M (peak 27.5M), with Betis. We are obligated to buy him for 6M Betis paid towards his 12M price in summer of 2020, this summer. However, if we sell him then Betis gets as much as 50% of the upside (price beyond initial 12M invested). Anyone know of a missing player, or someone else whose borrowing club does in fact have an option to buy? Who do you see back at Barca and helping? Or should all be sold given terrible finances at club? Emerson could help but could not keep him and Dest (and Wague). Alena good for depth but needs minutes.
Thanks, they are on loan officially from Barcelona B, so I missed them. Barca B loaned out 3 others but they are all on expiring contracts so not controlled by Barca after June 2021. Ludovit Reis - 20, June 2022, 2.2M current (3.3M peak), Osnabruck (Bundesliga 2) Sergio Akieme - 23, June 2023, 3.85M current and peak, Almeria (where he, as a RB, teams defensively with 2 other CBs from last year's Barca B: Cuenca - sold by Barca B to Villarreal who loaned him to Almeria; and Chumi - who Barca B let leave for free (or he would not re-sign as he never got chances with first team))
