Before there was any official agreement by the two clubs, it transpired this Wednesday afternoon the signing of Ferran Torres, one of the most promising Spanish midfielders, for the Manchester City. The former Valencianist will leave Mestalla in exchange for 25 million euros and 12 more kilos in variables, a figure conditioned by the contract that expired in June 2021.
Knowing that the player was not going to renew, Valencia CF has preferred to transfer him this summer to get some money, although the footballer’s market value is much higher. Apparently Ferran Torres felt that he was not trusted enough until the moment he began to excel, with meetings against Atlético de Madrid or Atalanta in which there was no doubt that he was an indisputable holder.
At that time he had already caught the attention of large clubs such as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two greats of Spain, and a Manchester City that has been the one that has ended up overtaking the rest, under the imperative order of a Txiki Begiristain always attentive to the Spanish market.
As reported by ‘MD’, the young midfielder will most likely travel to Barcelona in the next few hours to undergo a medical examination, due to the quarantine imposed in the United Kingdom. He will sign a contract valid until June 2025, for a Manchester City that he tries to search with his transfer a replacement to Leroy Sané, who headed to Bayern Munich in the last weeks.
After the favorable resolution of the TAS, Manchester City is expected to invest money this summer in the transfer market, also taking advantage of the fact that the rest of the great clubs in Europe will not undertake large operations. Ferran Torres is one of the first arrivals that seems imminent at the Etihad Stadium, as the ‘citizens’ have the will to make a new leap in quality that allows them regain the throne in England the next campaign.
Objective, but not priority for Barça
FC Barcelona, in short, he is left without a Ferran Torres who, although he was one of the followed players for months As a possibility to reinforce the midfield, it was not a priority either. Other names like Ndombélé or Fabián Ruiz have sounded louder than him, and even then they are not expected to arrive this summer either. Lautaro Martinez and a central are still the two great ‘duties’ of the culé team in this market.
