Ferran Torres signs for Barcelona from Manchester City

Author: Agencies

PARIS: Spanish international Ferran Torres signed for cash-strapped Barcelona on Tuesday from Manchester City, the Catalan side announced. Despite their financial struggles, Barcelona have reportedly agreed a deal worth an initial 55 million euros ($62 million, £47 million) for the 22-year-old. “FC Barcelona has reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Ferran Torres,” Barcelona said in a statement on their website. “The player has signed a contract for the next five seasons, until 30 June 2027. His buyout clause has been set at 1,000 million euros.” Torres scored 16 goals in 43 appearances for City since joining from Valencia last year but this season has been disrupted by a fractured foot that has kept him out since October. He won the Premier League, League Cup and reached the final of the Champions League during his only full season in Manchester. City manager Pep Guardiola said last week that Torres had asked to leave and he would not stand in his way. Torres will fill the vacuum left at Barcelona by another former City striker Sergio Aguero.
