According to a new report, Manchester City forward Ferran Torres is close to joining Barcelona, with the Catalan giants able to match the Spain international's wage demands.
Ferran Torres' move to Barcelona has been the subject of endless speculation, with the 21-year-old constantly linked with a return to Spain in the upcoming January transfer window.
The 2021/22 season was supposed to be Ferran Torres' golden opportunity to replace Sergio Aguero as Manchester City's main midfielder, but he was sidelined by a long-term foot injury sustained while on international duty.
Barcelona are said to have no problems affording Ferran Torres' salary expectations at the Camp Nou, according to Jose Alvarez of popular Spanish football-based television show El Chiringuito de Jugones, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness.
More information suggests that a January switch is possible, with the Spaniard set to earn the same wage package as Sergio Aguero, who announced his retirement from professional football in a press conference on Wednesday.
According to recent reports, the deal has been in limbo due to a €15 million price difference, and the two clubs must reach an agreement to make the transfer possible.
This season, Pep Guardiola's Man City has been winning while using a false-nine system, topping both their Champions League group and the Premier League table.
Torres may be restricted to a back-up role next season, with the Sky Blues linked with established strikers like Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Dusan Vlahovic, which could be driving a move to Barcelona in spite of having made a strong start to the season in Man City
Furthermore, the player's camp has expressed their client's desire to join the La Liga club, who have yet to reach an agreement with Manchester City over Ferran Torres' valuation, which appears to be the only major roadblock in their way.
