Barca’s new acquisition: Covid-infected and too expensive

21-year-old Torres has not played football since October due to the foot injury he suffered during the national team break with Spain. Barcelona have hoped to have him ready to play for El Clásico on January 12, but with coronary heart disease and financial difficulties, it will not be easy for the Catalan big club.

It is the salary levels that delay the registration of Torres, even though he was bought from Manchester City for 55 million euros.

– However, we have made changes in other areas and we are convinced that we will be able to register him, says Barcelona’s football manager, Mateu Alemany.

Torres himself is not worried about the situation.

– I’m calm, because the club does everything it can, he says.
