The player, valued at around £25 million per Transfer marketHe still has more than two and a half years left on his current contract. Barcelona are therefore expected to demand a considerable amount of money to let him leave next year.
Torres likes to play on the right wing but also feels comfortable in the center forward position. He can also provide cover on the left flank if necessary, but generally struggles to give his best in this position.
Arsenal decided to strengthen their forward department by signing Raheem Sterling last summer, but he joined the club on loan and is expected to return to Chelsea at the end of this season.
Therefore, perhaps the Gunners are lining up Torres as a potential option to replace Sterling if they ultimately decide not to make his loan permanent at the end of this season.
On the other hand, Tottenham signed Timo Werner on loan last summer, but he has not been able to show his best level in the first division so far this season. Therefore, it is unlikely that Tottenham will sign him permanently.
It will be interesting to see if any of the north London clubs finally make a concrete decision to sign Torres next year.
