Happy Blue 1,898 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Ferran Torres swap 'agreed' Manchester City and Barcelona have agreed to swap Ferran Torres for Frenkie de Jong, it is reported. According to Spanish publication El Nacional, Barcelona cannot afford to meet City's £60m valuation of Torres and so have instead agreed to part ways with de Jong. It would mean the transfer goes through without any money changing hands, it is added, which would be "pleasing to all parties". It is all down to whether de Jong himself wants to make the switch to City, the report adds, although the player has seen his long-term future in Spain for a long time now and would reportedly be upset to walk away from the club.

I can see Pep getting the best out of him honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 The cynic in me thinks this sounds like it may be a swap deal to cheat FFP through amortisation if Frenkie DeJong goes off in the other direction. A bit like Arthur & Pjanic, Cancelo & Danilo, Osimhem & the five nobody's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I reckon Real Madrid are going to dominate the league for the next several years (especially if they get both Haaland and Mbappe) but Barca are genuinely building something exciting. Gavi (17) Fati (19) Pedri (19) Nico Gonzalez (19) Torres (21) Puig (22) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the de Jong involvement seems to have gone quiet. All of which takes us back to the first question, how the fuck can Barcelona afford this?

SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ferran’s registration happened with the weirdest of accounting moves. Umtiti was out, the club haven’t wanted him for a while but he has refused every single offer that’s come in. So Barcelona have come to an agreement with Umtiti where he can stay and adding an extra year on his current contract. His wages have been spread throughout the remainder of his contract with a lump sum paid in the final year of his contract. What a shambles, what a total mess! But I suppose Barcelona have achieved getting a really good young player, a player they really couldn’t afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
