United want to bring back prolific former Man City forward to PL, deal to cost €35m – report

Manchester United are interested in Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, as per reports.

Three years after joining Barcelona from Manchester City, Torres is finally starting to look like a reliable forward in LaLiga, capable of consistently troubling opposing defences.

The Spaniard, who is capable of playing all across the frontline, initially struggled to replicate his impressive City form at Camp Nou. But now, Hansi Flick is making the most of his intelligent movement and versatility.

The 25-year-old has managed to score 13 goals and register three assists in 32 appearances in all competitions this term.

His attacking contributions have sparked suggestions he could potentially return to the Premier League.

Manchester United interested in Barcelona star Ferran Torres

According to Fichajes, United are among a number of English sides “strongly” interested in signing Torres in the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have struggled to consistently get on the scoresheet under Ruben Amorim, who could do with a versatile forward capable of spearheading his side’s attack as well as creating for his teammates as a wide playmaker.

Given his history in the blue half of Manchester, it remains to be seen how he would react to United’s possible approach.

At this point, however, Aston Villa are leading the race for his signature, as per the Spanish outlet, who claim that Liverpool are also monitoring the Barca star.

The Blaugrana, meanwhile, are understood to be open to listening to offers for their in-form forward.

Due to their financial predicament, Barcelona would consider his exit if they receive a fee in the region of €35 million.

United themselves are facing financial concerns due to the Premier League’s PSR and might fancy an opportunity to sign a brilliant Premier League-proven forward for a relatively bargain fee.
