In order to strengthen offensively, FC Barcelona would closely follow the track leading to Ferran Torres. The Catalan club have also made a special request to the Spaniard to help him in the case.
In search of offensive reinforcement, FC Barcelona would explore a few avenues on the transfer market. Indeed, Joan Laporta would have already placed a few names on her list. Players like Arthur Cabral , Timo Werner or even Raheem Sterling have recently been linked with the Catalan club. But the Blaugrana management would also be closely monitoring Ferran Torres' situation. The Spaniard's profile would appeal to Barca and despite the confidence of Pep Guardiola last season, the currently injured 21-year-old may well have lost his place in the starting XI against competing with Riyad Mahrez , Phil Foden , Bernardo Silva , Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus . Therefore, Ferran Torres may well leave Manchester City only a year and a half after his arrival. For their part, FC Barcelona would have made a very special request to the Spaniard.
Barça would like Ferran Torres to put pressure on Manchester City to lower their prices
As Catalan media El Nacional explains, FC Barcelona would hope that Ferran Torres can help them in the negotiations. While they would be ready to put only € 50m on the table to secure the services of the Spain international, Blaugrana leaders would like the 21-year-old to put pressure on Manchester City to lower the price of the transfer to 40M €. This maneuver would allow FC Barcelona to save money, while the club is going through a rather delicate financial crisis. It remains to be seen whether the Citizens will agree to lower their demands as much, they who would claim 70M € to part with Ferran Torres .
