FERRAN TORRES has completed his move from Manchester City to Barcelona, both clubs confirmed today.
City accepted an offer for the Spain international last week.
The 21-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half year contract at the Nou Camp and will be officially presented as a Barcelona player on January 3, after the transfer window has formally opened.
A tweet from City read: “Ferran Torres has left Manchester City and completed a permanent move to Barcelona.”
Torres spent just 16 months at City, scoring 16 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions after signing from Valencia in the summer of 2020.
He was not thought to be unhappy at the Etihad Stadium but became keen on the move after learning of the Catalan giants’ interest.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “Ferran should be proud of what he has achieved here at Manchester City.
“Last season was his first time in a new country, but he adapted well. He always gave 100 per cent, worked hard for the team and scored goals which helped us win trophies.”
