Ferran Torres transfer to Barcelona from Man City makes sense for all parties

Pep Guardiola has always said that he will not stand in the way of players who want to leave Manchester City, provided the offer is right, so Ferran Torres' impending move to Barcelona makes perfect sense for all involved.

Provided Barca can rearrange their finances sufficiently to satisfy LaLiga's new salary cap rules, the 21-year-old forward will return to Spain in January barely 18 months after he signed for City from Valencia in a £21million deal.

The fee Barca have agreed with City could eventually rise to £55m, so it's a financial win for the Premier League champions, who could get to nearly treble their money.
