Barca can sell off Torres.
Laporta and Xavi agreed that only six players from the Catalan side would not be pushed away. Of course, Torres is not among them, as he has only scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 32 appearances.
At this point, reports said, Barca wanted to sell Torres for 35 million euros (£31 million). They had previously signed him from Manchester City for £46.5 million, plus £8.5 million in add-ons in January 2022.
90min reports Arsenal have approached Barca to discuss Torres’ transfer. The Athletic also confirmed interest from Arsenal but added that the Spaniard did not want to leave.
According to journalist Dean Jones, the Gunners identified Torres as a transfer target after they missed out on Mykhaylo Mudryk two months ago. And obviously, this deal is much more economical than Mudryk’s signature.
