Ferran Torres is Barcelona's No 1 target for the January transfer window, according to reports in Spain, as Xavi tries to overhaul and inject some much-needed quality into his attack.
The cash-strapped Catalans - who are saddled by debts exceeding £1billion - are in desperate need of new signings after their worst start to a season in 34 years, with club legend Xavi tasked with turning the tide after Ronald Koeman's sacking.
His plans were dealt a major blow on Wednesday when Sergio Aguero, who joined on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer, announced his retirement from football due to a heart problem.
