Manchester City set to announce £37m Ferran Torres signing from Valencia on Tuesday

Manchester City are expected to finalise their first summer signing today by landing Ferran Torres from Valencia.

Torres will cost City an initial £20.9million after agreeing a five-year contract, with the finer details and a medical set to be completed.

The 20-year-old’s arrival at the Etihad Stadium is seen as a coup for Pep Guardiola, who wanted fresh energy in wide areas ahead of next season.

Torres is regarded as one of the most exciting wingers in Europe and was a highlight in Valencia’s otherwise disappointing LaLiga campaign.

Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and Juventus had all retained interest in signing Torres, who had signalled his intention to leave the Mestalla.

Guardiola is hoping for four new faces over the coming weeks.

City are in the disadvantageous position of juggling both their Champions League campaign with summer recruitment but are moving quickly in a bid to narrow the gap to Liverpool.

Nathan Ake is also close to a move after City agreed a £40m fee with Bournemouth last week, while Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly is another target in the central defensive area.

City are back in Champions League action on Friday for their last-16 second-leg against Real Madrid.
