Mateu Alemany has reportedly made a transfer promise to Barcelona president Joan Laporta and has said he will not try to sign any of the club’s players once he joins Aston Villa.
Ferran Torres has already been linked with a move to Villa Park, since Alemany’s departure has been announced, but Diario Sport reckons the sporting director will not be shopping at the Camp Nou.
Alemany has told Laporta he won’t try to sign Barca players “as a measure of respect for the club” ahead of his move to the Premier League at the end of the season.
