The Manchester City striker wants to leave for Barcelona. Does the debt-ridden team even have the money for him?

Manchester City striker Ferran Torres is in favour of a move to Barcelona. Xavi may well be looking for his next signing. But will Barcelona have the necessary funds for him?

Ferran Torres joined Pep Guardiola’s squad in the summer of 2020, transferring from Valencia for the sum of 23 million Euros.

Sources say that although he is relatively happy at Manchester City, he is tempted by the idea of playing regularly for one of the best teams in the world.

However, it is a regular place in the starting line-up that cannot be guaranteed him by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, who, after all, prefers to opt for perhaps a false nine option for the big games.

Barcelona are currently in a difficult financial situation, so it remains a big question whether they would be able to finance the transfer. The Catalan club are currently trying to sell Dembélé and Coutinho.

The prestigious website Transfermarkt currently estimates the price of the 21-year-old Spaniard at €50 million.

Goal tally and typology

Ferran Torres is currently injured and his return to the pitch is estimated to be in January 2022. In 4 Premier League games, the Spanish striker has a record of 2+1. Last season, it was 7+2 in 24 games (15 started in the starting line-up).

His advantage is that he can start in more than one position. At Manchester City he most often played on the wing, but he is no stranger to the right wing position, where he regularly plays for the Spanish national team. He scored an impressive 12 goals in 22 games there.
