Arda Turan, the former player for Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, is currently experiencing one of the most challenging moments in his life after falling victim to a major fraud operation in Turkey.
The Turkish international retired last year while playing for Galatasaray, having participated in over 500 matches in the Turkish and Spanish leagues, in addition to 100 international matches with the Turkish national team.
According to a report published by the Catalan newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" on Wednesday, Arda Turan is going through a difficult time both personally and financially. He has been defrauded by a bank in his home country, resulting in a loss of up to 13 million euros.
In statements circulating in the media, the player expressed, "I have been deceived. They told me that those who invest in this fund would make profits. I invested over 13 million, and all the money I earned disappeared suddenly."
The report indicates that Arda Turan was deceived by a former bank manager, shedding light on the unfortunate situation that the footballer finds himself in.
