Barcelona agree €55million deal to sign Ferran Torres from Manchester City

The 21-year-old Spain forward is set to move to the Camp Nou when the transfer window opens in January.

MANCHESTER CITY HAVE agreed a €55million fee with Barcelona for the sale of Ferran Torres, the PA news agency understands.

The 21-year-old Spain forward is now set to move to the Camp Nou when the transfer window formally opens in January.

The deal, which is subject to the agreement of personal terms, could also be worth a further €10million to City in add-ons.

With €7million of that contained in clauses likely to be activated, the Premier League champions feel the transfer represents good business for a player they signed for €25million last year.

City were not looking to sell, and nor is Torres thought to be unhappy at the Etihad Stadium, but he became keen on the move after learning of the Catalan giants’ interest.

Torres has scored 16 goals – including a hat-trick at Newcastle United last season – in 43 appearances in all competitions for City since joining from Valencia in the summer of 2020.

He was signed primarily as a winger but has also impressed as a makeshift centre-forward in Pep Guardiola’s side.

He was part of the side that won the Premier League last season but has played just seven times this season after breaking a metatarsal while on international duty in October. He is expected to be sidelined until the new year.
