Posted on December 9, 2021 at 12:30 pm by Th.B. While FC Barcelona went out the back door in the Champions League failing even to reach the Round of 16, Xavi and Barça leaders would have passed the second for the transfer by Ferran Torres this winter. However, there are many conditions for the Manchester City forward… On the sidelines of the next winter transfer window, the options that seemed to be multiple for FC Barcelona are less and less so. As for Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech , Thomas Tuchel would have filed his veto with the management of Chelsea who would not consider going against the will of his coach by even discussing with Barça on the terms of a loan for one of the attackers of Tuchel at Chelsea . In Manchester City , the door for Raheem Sterling would no longer be wide open, leaving FC Barcelona with your back to the wall for the winter transfer window promised to Xavi Hernandez . Nevertheless, there would be a silver lining for the FC Barcelona coachin the person of Ferran Torres . On the one hand, due to the desire of the Spain international who trained at FC Valencia to return to La Liga. And another, because an agreement in principle between FC Barcelona and the Manchester City winger has been reached according to Mundo Deportivo. However, Barca would need to find common ground with City at the level of the transfer allowance of Ferran Torres according to Pep Guardiola , and this, in spite of the financial difficulties crossed by the club culé. “Ferran Torres? It is not my job to comment on this. You have to call Txiki Begiristain (City sporting director, editor's note), or Ferran Torres' agent, or Barça. (…) We are not going to give gifts. When we want to recruit, just because we are Manchester City, we are asked for a lot more money than at any other club. So obviously we're not going to let our players go for free. There has to be a negotiation, an agreement between the clubs… ”. This is the message the Manchester City coach gave at a press conference in early December. However, FC Barcelona would not lose hope, quite the contrary. According to the information disclosed by SPORT, FC Barcelona would always make Ferran Torres their winter priority. Moreover, Xavi Hernandez would fully validate this lead, attesting to his insistence behind the scenes with his leaders that Torres drop his bags at Barça. The club coach is said to be confident that the Manchester City wingerwould have the qualities required to resolve the offensive shortcomings displayed by FC Barcelona during this first part of the season. However, and this although Ferran Torres does not seem to be against the idea of landing at FC Barcelona , President Joan Laporta and its administration will have a lot to do to complete this operation for which serious foundations have been laid. At least that is what SPORT has said in recent hours. According to Catalan media, Manchester City would be ready to let Ferran Torres go, provided that certain economic criteria are met by FC Barcelona . Behind the scenes, contacts are said to have intensified between Barça and City when executive director Mateu Alemany traveled to Manchester with a view to bringing the positions of the two clubs closer together for the Torres operation . In order to be able to carry out this file, FC Barcelona would be forced to make several payments when City was not open to the idea of facilitate the task of the club blaugrana. Discussions would have accelerated in the wake of the elimination of FC Barcelona even before the elimination phase towards the Champions League. And to achieve its ends with a possible transfer of Ferran Torres , Barça should upstream manage to downsize the workforce of Xavi by putting at the door of players like Philippe Coutinho or Samuel Umtiti . The stage is set. 
Barça is unanimous for Ferran Torres!
Discussions accelerate for Torres, but conditions must be met for Barça ..
