Turan's contract at the Vicente Calderon runs through 2017. He's become a fan favourite at Atletico since his move from Galatasaray four years ago, establishing himself as a crucial member of the squad thanks to his impressive work rate and attacking exploits.
Amid rumoured interest from Manchester United, The Guardian reports that the Turkish international would cost something in the region of £25 million.
