Manchester City striker Ferran Torres is reportedly set to join Barcelona next month.
Ferran Torres joined City in a € 25 million deal from Valencia last summer but struggled to find himself under Pep Guardiola despite being impressive whenever he was selected.
According to The Athletic reports that the deal is “close” and the transfer is nearing an end to Xavi’s happy outcome.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano thinks the deal is over and Torres will sign a five-year deal at the Camp Nou soon.
Ferrán Torres is heading to Barcelona, the deal has been confirmed and here we go! The deal has been finalized for € 55m and an extension of E10m in Manchester City.
There is more. Romano also speculates that Torres “could be at Barcelona” tomorrow to be tested and write down his contract.
Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo have similar updates, in fact, recent discussions about how Barca are now working hard to speed up the exit to open up Torres ’salary pay gap.
ESPN also reports the news and says the transfer “is based on opening up space in their payroll first.” Indeed the review adds to Barca’s financial position as “the only thing holding the deal.”
Sergio Aguero’s retirement will help a little, but Barca has repeatedly said that a sale will be required before any transfer could be completed which could mean the busiest end of the year at the Camp Nou.
