Ferran Torres has played a very limited role at Manchester City but had a very good start to the season with 2 goals in 4 Premier League games until going down with an injury. Torres has been promised a major role at Barcelona as a way to convince him to join the club.
In total Torres has played 43 games and scored 16 goals for City after his move from Valencia in 2020. Barcelona is hoping for a loan or transfer could be worked out to improve their forward line especially considering the absence of Sergio Aguero due to his heart issue.
