Ferran Torres To Barcelona : So Close But Still So Far





FC Barcelona have identified Manchester city's Ferran Torres as their prime transfer target in January Transfer Window.

Ferran Torres, currently going through rehabilitation on a foot injury sustained last month, would be expected to cost around €42 Million, which is double the price that Manchester City paid Valencia for him last year.



Sources close to the player stress that he is far from desperate to leave City, but is keen to secure a regular starting role and has been seduced by the idea of leading the line at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona are working hard to offload players, such as Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho, in order to raise money for the move, but their precarious financial position does mean a transfer is far from certain as per The Athletic



According to highly reliable Pol Ballús, Ferran Torres and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement for the player, but they will have to negotiate with Manchester City, who asks for a minimum of €50M for the Spaniard. Mateu Alemany has a very good relationship with the player's environment.

 Barça are looking for ‘imaginative formulas’ to reach a satisfactory agreement for everyone. Negotiations are underway & continue till an agreement is reached. Ferran is the 'Chosen One' 


According to highly reliable Fernando Polo,
Ferran Torres is crazy about leading the attack for the Blaugranas. He has too much competition in the City team, & feels that it would be a great challenge to lead the attack in a club like Barcelona, as he feels he is ready to take on responsibilities

As people who know him well point out, “Ferran is like a caged lion, he feels strong and that is why he needs a field to run. He is able to lead the attack of a great team and to be decisive as a starter.”

Barça already approached Ferran Torres in 2020, before his signing for City, but the Barça club did not take the final step and Guardiola took him for €23m + variables, but he always has the idea of ​​returning to LaLiga if a great called him.

Arthur Cabral: The next Lewandowski?

Barcelona were recently linked with Arthur Cabral as an option up front. The brazilian hitman could cost around 15 million.  Something which Barcelona have great problems in paying, gone are the days when that idiot Bartomeu used to spend 30 million on players not good enough for Barcelona B.  However, I believe it is a risk worth taking rather than bringing in some old striker like Cavani. Firsty, looking a bit at his profile, Cabral is an all round number 9.  He has decent pace, he is really strong, he is a good presser, has decent link up and can hold up the ball and is very good aerially too. If we compare him with Lewandowski, there arent many differences.  As you can see, they are basically the same players, with Cabral being better Aerially and pressing wise and Lewandoswki edging it in Passing Accuraccy.  Cabral has banged in 25 goals and 8 assists in just 25 games this season and altough it is in the Swiss League, it ...

Barcelona open to selling Memphis Depay amidst interest from Juventus and Roma

It is a no brainer that Memphis Depay was the most exciting prospect of the summer transfer window at the Camp Nou. But the 27 year old has failed to live upto expectations so far. Although the Dutchman has netted several goals for the Blaugrana,his lack of killer instinct in front of goal, something which the club has lacked ever since the departure of Luis Suarez and his inability to perform in big matches has raised some eyebrows at Camp Nou. Several Catalunyan media outlets have also reported that new coach Xavi Hernandez is not fully pleased with the ex Lyon man either.  Barcelona also have their eyes set on young Spaniard and Manchester City forward Ferran Torres. Add to that, talents like Ansu Fati and Yusuf Demir and one would expect nothing but flawless performances from Depay if he has to cement his place in the team. After Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Manchester United, Juventus are looking to cash in on ex Old Trafford man Memphis Depay accor...

Barcelona Show Interest In Man United's Edinson Cavani

After a move to Manchester United in the summer of 2020, the former PSG striker had a surprisingly good start at United, scoring 10 goals in 26 games last season in the Premier League and 6 goals in 5 Europa League games. But things changed this summer when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club, first, he lost his number 7 shirt to Cristiano, then he lost his place in the team to him. Now he currently has 1 goal in 5 Premier League games, another reason for his displacement as a starter this season are his injury woes, he has suffered 3 injuries so far, missing 11 games. Amid all the worries related to his situation, he has been linked to Barcelona. As per reports from ESPN, Barcelona has already held initial talks with Cavani, who wants to first see what Manchester United's new interim manager, Ralf Rangnick thinks about him before deciding on his future. It is also interesting to see along with Cavani there is another striker who ends his contact at the end of...

Joan Laporta Wants Erling Haaland

Since Laporta's first term as Barca president, it is a well-known fact that he has good relations with a lot of agents, Mino Raiola being the one who stands out among the rest. Mino Raiola, who already made it easier for Barca to sign then target Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now looking to make it easier for Barca to sign superstar Erling Haaland. Laporta was in Italy to witness Pedri win his Golden Boy award, while he was there he also met with super-agent Mino Raiola over a potential summer signing, Erling Haaland. Laporta has been looking for ways to finance this move for months, ever since he got elected as president he wanted to get a superstar and Haaland fits the profile perfectly. He would be a leader in the team even though he is only 21, he would be older than most of the current Barca players, undoubtedly having more experience than them. He has played a total of 73 games since joining Borussia Dortmund, scoring a staggering 74 goals in the process. He only missed 25 games thro...
