Aston Villa plotting big-money move for Ferran Torres

Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres during the summer transfer window.

They tried to sign the player multiple times in 2024, but they failed with offers to get the deal done. According to Fichajes, they are now prepared to break the market for him. They are very keen on the Spanish international, and it will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with the Spanish club.

They are preparing to offer €50 million for the versatile attacker. Torres has been linked with Arsenal as well.

Ferran Torres would be a quality addition

Torres is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he could be an excellent addition. He will add goals and creativity to the side. He could share the goalscoring burden with Ollie Watkins next season. Aston Villa need more quality and depth in the attacking unit if they want to secure European qualification next season. 

Signing the versatile attacker would be a wise decision. He will be hungry for regular game time, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. He’s not an indispensable asset for Barcelona, and joining a Premier League club could be ideal for him. Unai Emery is a quality manager who might be able to bring out the best in the player.
