On the evening of December 22, Beijing time, a number of Spanish media and The Athletic revealed that Barca are about to finalize the transfer of Ferran Torres, the cost is 55 million euros plus 10 million floating, Manchester City is about to release.
Ferran Torres, 21, debuted in valencia's youth academy and joined Manchester City a year ago.
After coming to Manchester City, Ferran Torres also underwent Guardiola's transformation. After more than a year of training, Ferran Torres can not only play as a left and right winger, but also as a center forward in a non-frontal formation. He has made 41 appearances with the team, contributing 15 goals and 4 assists, winning last season's Premier League and League Cup titles and reaching the Champions League final.
In the upcoming year of 2021, Ferran Torres scored 12 goals for Spain, during which he scored two hat-tricks, contributing to Spain's success in the Final Four of the European Championship and the Final of the European Nations League. It has to be said that Felan Torres is becoming more and more comprehensive, and his value has risen from the initial 30 million to 50 million.
Unfortunately, the competition at Manchester City is too fierce, and the presence of B-seat, Sterling, Jesus and Foden makes it impossible for Ferran Torres to lock in the absolute main position. This season, Ferran Torres made seven appearances in all competitions and still has 3 goals and 1 assist.
Felan Torres is not willing to play a rotating pawn at Manchester City, and he is eager for a stable starting position. Moreover, the gloomy weather in Britain also drove him back to Spain, becoming Harvey's number one target for reinforcements.
With City accepting Barca's offer, it is only a matter of time before Ferran Torres leaves City. You know, when Felan Torres joined a year ago, he only spent 28 million euros for Manchester City, and now he has returned to La Liga, and the transfer fee has become 55 million, almost double the purchase price.
If Ferran Torres performs well, he can also activate the 10 million euro floating clause, which is worth a total of 65 million euros, thus surpassing Sane and becoming the most expensive player sold by Manchester City in the 141 years since the founding of the team.
As we all know, Manchester City is a giant team piled up by gold dollars, especially after Guardiola took charge, spending nearly 1 billion yuan on reinforcements in just 5 years.
So in the eyes of many fans, Guardiola will only spend money, but this is not the case. Under him, Sane grew from a stunned young man to a top winger, bringing Manchester City a profit of 8 million euros. Cancelo has transformed from a chicken rib defender to a sharpshooter, and his value has soared.
Ferran Torres left the team for almost twice as much, and City made at least 27 million euros from him, all of which shows that Guardiola does have a bit of a gold ability.
Of course, Guardiola's only flaw may be the failure to lead Manchester City to the Champions League. According to himself, he will leave Manchester City in 2023 and the next step may be to coach the national team. So these two seasons are the last chance for Guardiola to lead the Blue Moon to achieve a breakthrough of zero in the Champions League.
