Arda Turan has ruled out the prospect of leaving Barcelona for Galatasaray before the Turkish transfer window closes on September 8.
The 30-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance this season and has been linked with a move back to the Super Lig since Paulinho's €40million arrival from Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao.
However, the Turkey star – who has been named in Barca's 25-man squad for the Champions League group stage – insists he intends to honour his contract, which expires in 2020.
"I'm staying," he told Beyaz Futbol. "I'm very happy here and I have a contract for another three years."
"Galatasaray is my home but I know they don't want me now," he said. "I don't want to harm the team."
