The 2021 Golden Globe Awards ceremony took place in the early hours of Beijing time this morning, and Messi was crowned the award for the seventh time. Last season, Messi scored 30 goals for FC Barcelona, becoming la Liga top scorer and winning the Copa del Rey title. At the ceremony, Pedri from Barca won the Kopa Award, the Best Young Player.
According to the Daily Sports, at the award ceremony, Barca president Laporta met with The Agent of Ferran Torres, and the two sides negotiated the transfer. Another Spanish media outlet, The World Sport, said Barca knew that Ferran wanted to join, which was the key to their talks in the winter window.
Manchester City do not intend to force Felan Torres, mainly because of the players' own wishes. Ferran Torres is not an absolute mainstay at Manchester City, so when Barca called him up, he nodded at the Catalan giants. And Guardiola also knows what Barca and Real Madrid mean for Spanish players.
At the Ballon d'Or, Laporta brought Barca's top brass to Paris, and on this occasion he had a conversation with Felan's agent, Perris, and it is reported that in the process of this communication, Barça has convinced Ferran and his agent, and the players have also been promised that he will get more playing time at Barca than under Guardiola.
However, although the players are interested, if they want To let Manchester City release, they still have to come up with real money. Ferran is only 21 years old and is already the main player of the Spanish team, and Manchester City is valued at 70 million euros, which Barca obviously can't come up with. Barca's idea is to swap players, hoping to replace Ferran with players guardiola is interested in. Seven players, including Destin, Sergi Roberto, Lenglet, Mingeza, Coutinho, Neto or Umtiti, are reportedly transferable. Rising stars Garvey, Nico Gonzalez and Pedri are the team's non-sellers.
Obviously, Guardiola will not want Barca's "old and sick", so if they can't get Ferran Torres, Barca will have to have a B plan. According to Marca, Barca's plan B is Manchester United striker Anthony Martial. Thanks to the addition of Ronaldo and Sancho, Martial's appearance order at Manchester United has dropped again. If Martial joins Barca, he will form a forward pair with Depay. However, whether Barca can sign Martial depends on the opinion of Manchester United's new coach Ronnick.
