Arda Turan left 230,000 euros worth of various damages in a Catalan villa. The former Barcelona midfielder is accused of having left the place in a pitiful state.
The owner had won his case in court but a procedural flaw sent the actors away at the start of the match. Turan retired from football in 2022 after a final stint at Galatasaray. Now a coach at 37, he has just been crowned in Turkish D 2 with the Eyüpspor club. He told Sport last November that he was ruined after being the victim of a scam where 13 million euros went up in smoke. He accused Seçil Erzan, director of a bank subsidiary in Istanbul, of deceiving him by saying “whoever invests in this fund will make profits” The work of several years suddenly disappeared, he said. The case is still ongoing. The expert commissioned at the time to assess the damage mentioned pieces of walls in tatters, broken household appliances or unpaid bills.
