Expect an official announcement to be made in the coming days regarding Arda Turan's future.

One day after the 28-year-old midfielder took to Twitter to let it be known that his agent, Ahmet Bulut, was in touch with three or four clubs, Bulut himself claimed that Atletico Madrid was surprised by Turan's decision to leave the Vicente Calderon and that his client will select his next club by the end of the week.

"We will not make a formal announcement until he signs," Bulut told NTV Spor, according to Marca. "Arda will decide where he wants to play next season in the next four days. Our decision to leave Atletico was a big shock to them, they didn't want Arda to go.

"When we sat down to look at the plan for Arda's career and thought about what he had gained at Atletico over the four years we came to the conclusion that leaving Atletico was the right thing to do."

Bulut stated last week that he and Turan were in talks with three teams that are among "the best in England and in European football," but refused to provide specific names.
