'Barcelona boss Valverde made me feel insignificant' - Turan

Arda Turan says former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde made him feel “insignificant”.

Earlier this month, the 33-year-old Turan ended his largely disappointing five-year spell at Barca by returning to his childhood club, Galatasaray.

Turan was signed by Luis Enrique in 2015, scoring 15 goals in 55 games in his first two seasons, but was frozen out of the team when Valverde took the reins.

After not making a single appearance in the first half of 2017-18, Turan joined Istanbul Basaksehir on loan in the winter transfer window, eventually remaining there for two and a half seasons.
