According to reports from a number of British and Spanish media, Manchester City attacker Felan Torres is about to complete his transfer and join Barca in the winter window.
Even Manchester City manager Guardiola has admitted that his player Felan Torres will soon join Barca, "Now this transfer is not official, when it is announced, it is very close." Felan Torres will be Barca's winter signing, while his transfer fee is as high as €55 million plus €10 million in conditional payments. Both clubs could announce the deal at any time.
Barça, which cannot afford to pay the social security of its employees, has no money to renew the contract with captain Messi in the summer, and in order to save Griezmann's salary, sent the French striker to the direct rival Atletico, if Barça is not a publicly owned institution but a private company, Barça with debts of more than 1 billion euros should have gone bankrupt long ago, but it is such a club that has signed Ferran Torres in the winter.
Barca and Manchester City have been in talks for 3 weeks on the transfer of Ferran Torres, Manchester City want 70 million euros, initially Barca only want to pay 40 million euros, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on 55 million euros, and there is a floating payment of 10 million euros, but this payment may be difficult to achieve, the contract stipulates that as long as one of the 4 conditions is reached, Barca need to pay Manchester City another 10 million euros, these 4 conditions include: Barca win the Champions League and Ferran Torres plays more than 70%; Torres won the Ballon d'Or; Ferran Torres won the European Golden Boot; and Barca sold Ferran Torres for more than 100 million euros.
Harvey hopes Ferran Torres will attend the team's first training session after Christmas on December 28. Ferran Torres suffered a toe fracture injury in the UEFA Nations League finals in October and has been resting for two months since then and has now resumed training at Manchester City.
According to Barcelona, it was boss Xavi who called in Foran Torres, a goal-scoring striker who was able to solve the problem of Barca's current attack but lack of goals. On the other hand, the club's sports manager Alemani has a good relationship with Felan Torres, who had previously established a good relationship with Felan Torres when he was general manager of Valencia, and said after Ferran left Valencia: "If it were not for Alemani leaving the club, I would have been able to stay in Valencia." ”
The introduction of Ferran Torres has caused a lot of controversy, first of all, he only paid 23 million euros for a transfer from Valencia to Manchester City last season, and after one and a half seasons, his value has more than doubled, and he has no amazing performance in clubs or national teams. Many people have offered to save up money to buy Haaland, but the problem is that Haaland's transfer fee to agent Rayola alone will have 60 million, which is not a level transfer. Ferran scored 16 goals in 2633 minutes in 43 appearances at City in a season and a half, averaging 1 goal in less than 2 games, which is a qualified statistic as a goalscorer, but not a very good statistic. Ferran Torres scored 12 goals in 1500 minutes in 22 games for Spain, which is a very good result, but it still can't change the situation where Spain lacks a center forward and waits for Ansu Fati to return to save the team. The only thing we can believe is Harvey's vision.
There is no doubt that Ferran Torres is a fairly young player who is only 21 years old and can already play as a main player in Spain. Barca can't be wrong to use young people if they want to stir up another storm. Moreover, Ferran is also a very character player, when he just turned 20 years old, he asked Valencia boss Lin Furong to personally negotiate with him, asked the team to give him the captain's armband, and publicly criticized the team's captain At that time, Parejo.
One of the most important questions is how can Barca, on the verge of bankruptcy, pay Ferran's €55 million transfer fee? Barca's solution to this is that they have signed a 4-instalment payment with Manchester City, and the first payment is next summer, Barca will actually not pay for The use of Ferran Torres in the second half of the season, and when signing a salary package contract with Ferran, Barca will only pay a lower salary to achieve the financial fairness policy requirements. Barca have already received a loan of 500 million euros from Goldman Sachs, liquidity is not a problem, as long as they survive this season and make this season's financial statements profitable or micro-loss, then the financial fairness regulations will not bind Barca next summer, and Barca can pay this transfer fee.
