Barcelona have their well-documented problems, but the Catalan club still has immense pull when it comes to attracting players – especially those who grew up in Spain and who know what it means to play at Camp Nou. Manchester City’s Ferran Torres is feeling the attraction!Sunday, 17.00: (1.33) Man.City (5.90) West Ham (9.50)The former Valencia striker arrived to City a year and a half ago in a $25.3 million move and has scored 16 goals in 43 games for the English club. It’s fair to say that he hasn’t managed to establish himself as a key player. That’s why he’s keen on a move back to Spain – and he has informed manager Pep Guardiola of his desire.Guardiola wouldn’t stand in the way of Torres’ move but there is a small issue of the transfer fee that Barcelona would need to cough up for the 21-year-old. Barca’s director of football Mateu Alemany is in Manchester where he’s trying to negotiate a deal for the attacker – but it’s not going to be easy. Many reporters concluded that Xavi won’t be able to sign new players unless some are sold beforehand. Barcelona is negotiating with Manchester City for Ferran Torres. Alemany was in Manchester today for him, he will either join in winter or next summer. — @diarioas pic.twitter.com/rvYx4IbQCa— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) November 26, 2021 Ferran was unfortunate to pick up a foot injury in Spain’s Nations League final with France on 10 October and has spent most of the time since in Valencia. He is not fully fit yet but is expected to be back on the pitch in early 2022. The question remains, however, whether he’ll be wearing a sky blue of a red and blue shirt.
