Barcelona eye swoop for Manchester City striker Ferran Torres in bid to boost their firepower with 21-year-old Spain international keen on move after limited starts at the Etihad

Barcelona are pursuing the statement signing of Manchester City striker Ferran Torres.

Torres, currently going through rehabilitation on a foot injury sustained last month, would be expected to cost around double the £21million City paid Valencia for him last year.

The 21-year-old Spain international is understood to be interested in exploring a move after limited starts prior to his injury.
