‘They’ve got him’, ‘bye bye Torres’ – Some Man City fans react over latest Ferran transfer news

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Barcelona are one step closer to signing Ferran Torres.

Torres has emerged as Barcelona’s top target, with Xavi Hernandez pushing the club to land the Manchester City winger in the winter transfer window.

The former Valencia winger is keen on the move and is more than willing to return to Spain with Barcelona next month.

City are ready to let him leave on a permanent basis, but Signing Ferran Torres from the Premier League champions could be a step too far for Barcelona financially as their economic woes are well known.

Spanish publication earlier this month reported that City have priced Torres at €60m(£51m) – over double the £21m they paid Valencia for him last year – and are willing to let him go if Barca stump up the cash.

Now according to Gerard Romero via Mundo Deportivo, the difference between Man City and Barcelona in their valuations of Ferran Torres is now just €4M-€5M.

The report was shared on Twitter and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.

good for them i’m absolutely sure that it’s nowhere near the 60m price quoted but good for them 👍 https://t.co/0IIXNA1Yws
