Barcelona playmaker Arda Turan has completed a move to Turkish outfit Istanbul Basaksehir on a two-and-a-half-year loan deal, the Catalan giants confirmed via their official website on Saturday.
Turkey international Turan moved to the Camp Nou from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2015, but Barca's transfer embargo meant he was prevented from registering for the club until January 1, 2016.
Turan earned his Blaugrana debut in January 2016 and departs the club after making 55 total first-team appearances, scoring 15 goals during that period having won every domestic trophy available, per Transfermarkt.
