For the past few weeks, the Catalan media have insisted Manchester City’s Ferran Torres is the main target target for Barcelona in the winter market.
This stance was pushed forward by Sport today, stating that signing the forward is an ‘absolute priority’ for the La Liga side and there is a ‘total agreement’ between the two parties.
Mundo Deportivo, meanwhile, explained there is growing belief the 21-year-old is likely to end up at the Camp Nou next month.

Jose Alvarez Haya added his trusted source who deals with the English market informed him ‘Ferran is done’, meaning the operation to take Pep Guardiola’s man to Barcelona is ‘done’
According to him, the transfer will cost Xavi Hernández’s side around €50m plus €5m in bonuses, which are the figures Barca are ‘now trying with Manchester City’.
