Posted on January 4, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. by The editorial staff

While Ferran Torres was officially introduced by FC Barcelona on Monday, the Spaniard is still not registered with La Liga. Barça would first be forced to reduce its payroll. Behind the scenes, Joan Laporta would have imagined the worst in this case.

Monday, Joan Laporta was very excited about the transfer of Ferran Torres to FC Barcelona during the player's presentation to the press: “It's a very special day. We present a great player. When Mateu told us there was a possibility, we were happy. You know, we have a good relationship with City and that was a very clear goal. I really like his desire to come to Barça. We want players like that. He's young, he's a benchmark and I'm sure he will be very successful. “Despite this presentation with great pomp, Joan Laporta would have shown much less serenity behind the scenes …

Barça would have wanted to include a clause in the event of failure in the recording of Torres

According to the program Que T'Hi Jugues broadcast on Cadena SER, FC Barcelona would have deliberately delayed the officialization of the arrival of Ferran Torres . Aware of his enormous financial difficulties, Barça would have liked to include in the transfer of the Spaniard a clause allowing the striker to return to Manchester City in the event of failure in its registration with the Liga authorities. In addition, the Catalan club would still have debts to the Sky Blues, since Barça would still have to pay nearly € 1.5 million to the Citizens for the transfer of Denis Suarez .
