"Our footballer Arda Turan met with Basaksehir Chairman Goksel Gumusdag and requested to leave the club to open a new page in his career," the statement said.
"Gumusdag positively responded to his request and therefore, Turan's contract was annulled with a mutual agreement."
The report indicates further that Barca have no interest in renewing the ex-Atletico Madrid star's deal, which expires in June, and the immediate indication is that the player won't be re-integrated into the club's first team.
