Ferran Torres, closer to Camp Nou: Barça and City bring positions closer together

From it does a few weeks the FC Barcelona has come tracing the way to achieve the signing of Ferran Torres. The culés achieved the 'OK' of the player very soon, but the Manchester City has been the big stone on the way, because they do not want to 'give' to one of the footballers with greater projection, although he has manifested to Pep Guardiola and the directors 'citizens' that it wants to abandon the Etihad Stadium.

From the Camp Nou there is good feelings with the operation and consider that it will achieve the 'dream' that Ferran Torres seen of blaugrana sooner that late, but the economic factor keeps on being the point determinant (as in all the operations in which it works the Barça). In any case, is working no rest to be able to approach the pretences of the Manchester City to what can offer the Barcelona picture.

It is necessary to remember that the English team always has been had to negotiate, but in his conditions. First they refused a cession and afterwards an attempt of exchange, but yes will accept the exit of the ex of Valencia if there is an interesting offer on the table. They had planted , in a principle, in 80 million euros like available price, but with the happen of the weeks and the insistence (also of the player) the figure has gone reducing significantly.

It does some weeks stood out that the Manchester City was asking 60 'kilos', whereas the FC Barcelona offered 45. The difference was of 15 million euros, but as it has informed Gerard Romero, has recessed to some 4-5 millions. An abysmal difference and that approaches to Ferran Torres to play prompt in the Camp Nou. For the moment, they remain a lot of 'fringes' for resolving and, further to achieve an agreement, the Barça needs to have the 'cash'.

The Barça needs to free mass salarial

The possible signing of Ferran Torres 'raisin' by the exit of a few players that allow to the Barcelona entity have 'fair play' financial. Mateu Alemany, director of football of the Barça, as well as the president Joan Laporta, have repeated in a few occasions that, to go out to the market of signings, before is necessary to free the mass salarial with sales of players (with plusvalías) and achieve the reduction of wages.

In this sense, names like the one of Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembélé or lyou players with which does not explain Xavi Hernández will be keys to achieve margin salarial. In the case of the Brazilian, the club will look for to find him an exit in the month of January, whereas with 'Dembouz' still deshoja the margarita to know if it will renew his agreement with the Barça, which wins in the summer of 2022.
