In January 2022, FC Barcelona announced the arrival of Ferran Torres from Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s team decided to sell their striker, scorer of 16 goals in 43 matches, who had been bought for 27 million euros. Since his arrival in Catalonia, the Spanish international is not really unanimous but seems to be regaining confidence.
In a podcast The Wild Project, the former Valencia striker returned to his transfer to Spain and confirmed that it was Pep Guardiola who pushed him towards Barça. “When I wanted to sign for Barça, Pep said to me: Barça? I just can’t say no to you. This is my Barça. My Barça. As long as the clubs agree, you can leave. Subsequently, FC Barcelona paid 55 million to acquire Ferran Torres.
