Barcelona on the verge of signing Ferran Torres

Barcelona are on the verge of signing Ferran Torres, according to Catalan outlet Sport.

Negotiations between the La Liga club and Manchester City are at an advanced stage and the announcement could come over the next few days. He is set to become the first signing for the Blaugrana in the January transfer window.

The transfer fee for the Spain international is said to be much closer to the €45 million that Barça wanted to pay from the start of the talks between the two clubs.
