5 destinations for Barcelona outcast Arda Turan

#2 Chicago Fire

If the stories are to be believed, this looks like the move that’s the most likely to come off.

The MLS used to be the trusted home of the semi-retired, but with the rise of money in China and the improvement of quality over in the States, it’s become much more of a competitive field. Turan might be one of the best players in the league in terms of ability but many recent acquisitions will tell you, it’s not as easy as it used to be.

Look at the most recent MLS Cup winners in Toronto FC, who have two internationals that could still put in a great shift in Europe in Sebastian Giovinco and Michael Bradley. In fact, he’ll join another legend who’s not quite lived up to the hype in Illinois in Bastian Schweinsteiger.

No doubt it’ll be a good paycheck and the chance to live in a fantastic city in a growing league, yet some will still question it. At this time of his career, with so many miles already on the clock, it totally makes sense to head to Chicago.
