Xtra Time Web Desk : FC Barcelona aren’t in the best of conditions right now, both financially and football wise. But the tables could turn soon for them in the month of January as various reports are suggesting that the Catalan giants are the favourites to sign Manchester City and Spain youngster attacker, Ferran Torres.


It has been a torrid few months for Barca, as they lost Lionel Messi in August only to see Sergio Aguero retire last week due to his heart condition. Apart from the above mentioned superstars, the other attackers of Barcelona namely, Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele and Martin Brathwaite have all faced injury problems which has led to the club fielding a much weakened attack. But now with the incoming transfer window in January, several reports suggest that Barca are set to end their attacking woes by signing a bright young striker in Ferran Torres who has been a prolific goalscorer for both Manchester City and Spain.


The 21 year year old who was a main stay of Spain’s U17 team when the team ended up being runners up in the FIFA U17 World cup has a brilliant left feet and is a fantastic dribbler. His ability to score goals with both his feet would also help Barca if they end up signing him.


Now, it would be interesting to what signings can FC Barcelona afford to make in the month of January with the club’s financial side dismantled currently.
