When it comes to forwards, Estadio Deportivo reports that if Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk can’t come to terms on a cost for Mykhaylo Mudryk, the Gunners would pursue Barcelona and Spain’s, Ferran Torres. Tottenham is interested in Torres as well. But they aren’t prepared to pay as much.
Not bad considering 13 of the 45 appearances were in a substitute role and just 16 of those appearances lasted the full 90 minutes. Like the futures of many other Barça players, though, his is uncertain. Since the team has plenty of money, they can afford to sign any player who fits their price range.
No agreement has been reached between Arsenal and Shakhtar about a transfer fee for Mudryk. Arsenal has had a formal offer rejected after trying to negotiate with Shakhtar, who is seeking a massive sum. Reports from ED suggest Arsenal will pursue Torres if negotiations fail.
The Gunners aren’t the only team in North London interested in signing Torres, however. Similarly, Spurs are interested in signing Spain’s World Cup star. Despite Torres’s great statistics, though, Spurs owner Daniel Levy is hesitant to pay more than £35 million for the striker.
If Arsenal and Mudryk cannot come to terms on a fee, the Gunners will pursue Torres
What course of action do you recommend for Torres? The smart money is on a switch to Arsenal right now. He would go head-to-head with Gabriel Martinelli, and one would even suggest he might eventually surpass the Brazilian. The latter has the ability to start in the striking position.
Indeed, Torres’s form for Spain, City, and Barca indicates that he is more than capable of starting for a club like Arsenal or Tottenham. Having Torres on the team would be a huge boost for the Spurs. One who can step in and take over for the struggling Son Heung-min.
If Ferran Torres departs Barcelona, Barcelona may attempt to sign Wilfried Zaha, an attacker for Crystal Palace. Now in the remaining six months of his Selhurst Park deal, Zaha is free to begin pre-contract negotiations with teams in other countries.
There have been rumours for years that the Ivory Coast international will depart the Eagles. But he has remained at Selhurst Park. Patrick Vieira, the manager of Palace, said in the summer that he was confident in Zaha’s continued stay at the club. But the 30-year-old is said to be garnering considerable attention in the United Kingdom and beyond.
What’s Barcelona’s plan of action?
Zaha has recorded six goals and two assists in 15 Premier League appearances this season. Thus, drawing attention from a number of Premier League teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
The future of Ferran Torres at Camp Nou is uncertain. Fichajes reports that Barcelona has already identified the former Manchester United youngster as a possible successor for Torres.
The former Manchester City forward has swiftly fallen out of favour in Barcelona’s attack, starting only six La Liga games so far in 2022-23.
