The City signs Ferran Torres

There is still no official announcement although the agreement between Valencia and City for the transfer of Ferran Torres is closed. The young winger leaves Mestalla in exchange for 25 million euros and another 12 in variables, a figure conditioned by Foios' contract, which expires in June 2021. Peter Lim was urged to find a solution to the problem and at least do box, but it is a blow to the credibility of an entity that loses its franchise player. Ferran Torres did not want to attend to the Valencia renovation proposal, disgusted with the treatment he received for months. He feels that he was not valued enough until he began to stand out, with performances against Atlético de Madrid or Atalanta in which it was found that he is a different footballer. From someone who this season has attracted the attention of City and also of Madrid.

In principle, Ferran Torres will travel to Barcelona in the next few hours to pass the medical examination, subject to doing so in Spain because of the fourteen-day quarantine that the Boris Johnson executive has imposed on all those citizens who travel to the United Kingdom. The Valencian winger will sign his contract at the Etihad until June 2025, a success by a City that has quickly found Sané's replacement. It was one of the great concerns of both Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain, the great winner of the operation. The sports director of the Manchester team received yesterday the praise of fans and also from the English press, who applauds the agility that the Guipúzcoa has had in moving and closing a strategic signing for a team that needs to renew itself to compete again. with Liverpool in England.

(+) Ferran Torres gave a good example of his ability and speed in this goal against Atalanta in the Champions League:

A young man with self-confidence and many resources will arrive in Manchester. A versatile player who expresses himself best when playing on the right, convinced to dampen the stage fright of exchanging Mestalla for Etihad. Ferran Torres combines well on the inside, skillful in driving, but tends to finish his actions on the outside, a luxury for a City with the need to widen the field when measuring rivals who are locked up. A 20-year-old footballer arrives at Etihad who will enrich Guardiola's proposal at City. One of the great talents in Spain is going to try to succeed in England.
