Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Barcelona are willing to table an offer to sign Ferran Torres in a part-exchange deal.
The Spain international has had a decent impact during his time at City, but it seems the former Valencia man could quickly be set for a move back to La Liga.
Torres has emerged as a transfer target for Barca in recent days and the Spanish giants have reportedly reached an agreement with the youngster over a transfer, with the transfer fee the only major detail left to be sorted.
Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo earlier this week claimed Barcelona were stepping up their efforts to secure the services of Ferran Torres, and are prepared to propose a part-exchange deal to Manchester City to land him.
According to Timesport, Barcelona have offered Man City a number of their fringe players, including Philippe Coutinho, as part of a deal for Ferran Torres, but City would prefer cash and in excess of double the fee they paid Valencia.
Barcelona cannot afford to pay such a sum in their current financial condition, which is why a part-exchange deal is set to be proposed.
Manchester City will have up to seven players to choose from in such a package, with Barcelona ready to offer one of Sergino Dest, Sergi Roberto, Clement Lenglet, Oscar Mingueza, Philippe Coutinho, Neto and Samuel Umtiti.
What remains to be seen is if the English giants are open to offloading Torres in a part-exchange deal and which player they zero in on to bring in as part of such a package.
The report was shared on Twitter and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.
Meh we don’t do fringe players. It’s either one of your best players or cash only. I know it’s the season of goodwill but that’s taking the mick. One of your best players or a large cash offer, or you can do one. https://t.co/7GbaZTHTca

we should approach De Jong and put torres in the swap deal; I guess we can add some cash for the torubled as well.
