Manchester City’s Ferran Torres praises new Barcelona signings Aguero and Garcia

Joan Laporta is not ready to take any prisoners this summer transfer window despite the club being in a precarious financial situation. Barcelona have already made four signings official, with Eric Garcia, Sergio Aguero, Emerson Royal, and Memphis Depay joining the club, and Jean-Clair Todibo and Konrad de la Fuente departing.

Aguero and Garcia were two players that were linked most aggressively to Barça, and left behind a Manchester City super-team. Both players left on a free transfer with some bittersweet memories at City, but Ferran Torres certainly seems to hold both in high regard.

Speaking to RAC1, Torres spoke about Eric Garcia, saying, “I will miss Eric next season. It is a very good decision for him. He is a ‘top’ center-back and Barça have made a great signing.”

Similarly, he also praised ‘Kun’, Manchester City’s all-time top scorer: “Kun’s career speaks for itself. He has made history at City and in football. He will have a good year at Barça and will score goals.”

Torres arrived at City in the summer of 2020 and shared the pitch with Garcia eight times, and six times with Aguero across four competitions in the 2020/21 season. Before joining City, the former Valencia winger was scouted by Barcelona and several other top clubs.
