The Manchester City forward will mark an era with the Spanish national team

After the financial ruin the new board inherited at Barcelona, the club can't afford to waste even one euro.

And yet, if the Catalan club could fight for the signing of Manchester City forward Ferran Torres, they would be signing a genuine thoroughbred. 

Torres, 21, is a talent that shines wide or through the middle, that is powerful and quick and that possesses a winning mentality. 

The former Valencia attacker would not be someone signed on a whim. He will mark an era with the Spain national team. 

Barça were in Manchester last week to talk with City about a deal for Torres. SPORT revealed City have asked for 80 million euros, while Barça are prepared to pay around 50 million.

Negotiations will continue ahead of the transfer window, with Barça making it clear that Torres is their top target as they seek to strengthen the attack for new coach Xavi Hernandez.
