Barcelona drop hint about Ferran Torres deal on Twitter

With the January transfer window only ten days away, Barcelona may have dropped a big hint over a potential incoming.

The Catalans have been heavily linked with a move for Manchester City star Ferran Torres for the past couple of months. Manager Xavi Hernandez is believed to be a huge admirer of the 21-year-old, due to his versatile nature and technical abilities.

Since joining the Premier League champions last year, he has scored 16 goals and has been in fine form with the Spanish national team as well. Currently sidelined with an injury, the ex-Valencia prodigy has the know-how of La Liga football which would mean that he would not take a lot of time adapting.

Talks with Manchester City have been ongoing for a while now, with the transfer fee for the forward proving to be a sticking point in negotiations. However, there have been recent reports which claimed that an agreement was close.

Now, Barça have teased a potential transfer with a post on social media. On the official Twitter account, the Catalan posted a clip of Ferran Jutgla celebrating after he scored this past weekend, with the caption “Where have we seen this before?”

Only last month, Barcelona had teased the return of Dani Alves with cryptic tweets. And they may well be doing so again with Torres. If signed, the Manchester City forward has the talent and the potential to add a lot of value to this Barça outfit. It remains to be seen if the move does actually go through.
