Newcastle United are preparing an offer to sign former Manchester City winger Ferran Torres before the transfer deadline, Football Insider has reported.
Barcelona are reportedly willing to listen to proposals for the 24-year-old, who has struggled to make a significant impact at Camp Nou since joining from the Premier League in 2021.
According to Football Insider, the ‘stumbling block’ in Newcastle’s pursuit of Torres could be the winger himself, as he is happy in Catalonia and is willing to fight for his place in Hansi Flick’s squad this season.
With Barcelona looking to offload several players ahead of the transfer deadline, Torres could soon join teammate Ilkay Gundogan on the transfer list.
The 33-year-old is being allowed to explore his options to leave Spain this summer and has also been rumoured to be considering a potential return to England, with Manchester City keen on re-signing Gundogan before the transfer deadline.
Due to La Liga’s squad cost control rules, Barcelona have reportedly been unable to register new £51m signing Dani Olmo and are aiming to improve their financial position by selling a few high-earners before the transfer deadline.
