In Barcelona, the transfer window is already on the horizon and attempts are being made to strengthen, especially in the attack. The hot name on the episode is Fran Torres and the Mundo Deportivo newspaper reported this morning (Tuesday) that the Catalans are willing to offer 45 million euros for it, while Manchester City demand 60 million. However, both sides believe that the gaps can be bridged until the window closes.
Torres himself played for City, among other things, as a fake striker – a position that Xavi wants to strengthen because Memphis DePay is the only option at this point. The 21-year-old Spaniard has expressed a willingness to join Barça and has even discussed it with Pep Guardiola, although of course it all depends on an agreement between the clubs.
The Blaugrana sporting director, Matteo Alman, and general manager Fran Reberter have been in Manchester recently to advance the cause. Torres himself has scored three goals and cooked one more in seven games since the start of the season in all competitions. In total he has 16 goals and four more assists in 43 appearances since arriving at Citizens from Valencia.
(TORRES): Barcelona are offering €45m for Ferran Torres and Manchester City are asking for €60m.
• However, the difference is not considered too much and there is good will between the clubs to reach an agreement before the end of the winter market.

However, in the near future Barça are busy with the decisive game against Bayern Munich tomorrow (Wednesday, 22:00) where Xavi and his players will need the same result (win, draw or loss) in the corresponding game between Benfica and Dynamo Kiev, otherwise they will be relegated before the eighth. the final. The Catalan media reported that Xavi was not building on the result from the corresponding game and prepared a plan with the aim of defeating the Bavarians and qualifying for the next stage.
So what does it include? Apply pressure on Bayern, stop their players if necessary also at the cost of fouls and yellow cards, entry of the main ties in depth and especially Frankie de Jong, not afraid to threaten the goal even from a distance, take advantage of stationary situations especially with Gerard Pique, Ronald Arauho and Kalman Langela , And pay special attention to Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller.
According to the latest publications in Catalonia, Xavi will probably rise to a 3-4-3 formation, with which he has already started in the Spanish league. This was made possible after Gabby recovered and would be fit, and in such a situation he would open at the front link alongside Nico Gonzalez with Busquets and De Jong behind them. Up front Memphis will be the striker and in the wings Osman Dembele and Jordi Alba.
