Ferran Torres set to undergo his Barcelona medical tomorrow

Ferran Torres is getting closer and closer to becoming a Barcelona player.

The 21-year-old is on the verge of completing a transfer to Camp Nou from Premier League champions Manchester City in a deal worth €55 million after the two clubs came to an agreement following intense negotiations over the past month.

Torres will be the second signing of the Xavi Hernandez era after Barça signed Dani Alves on a free transfer last summer. The Spaniard will return to La Liga just eighteen months after leaving Valencia for Manchester City.

While the January transfer window is still a week away from officially being open, Barcelona are making preparations to announce the signing of Torres in the next couple of days.

According to an update from SPORT’s Toni Juanmarti, Torres will be undergoing his medical tomorrow, i.e., Monday, as he inches closer to completing the switch from Manchester City.

The versatile attacker, who can play anywhere across the frontline, has been out with an injury since October after he fractured his foot. However, he is close to completing full recovery, and there are unlikely to be any hitches in the medical on Monday.

Once the medical and other formalities are completed, the ex-Valencia forward is expected to be presented as a Barcelona player on Tuesday, December 28th. Reports have even indicated that the Spanish international will be handed the #25 shirt by Barça.

Torres will be registered as an official Barcelona player with La Liga when the January transfer window opens. However, due to his recent injury, fans might have to wait for a while before seeing him in action on the pitch. As things stand, though, the 21-year-old is expected to complete his medical on Monday and finalise the move soon.
