Over the past few years, Aston Villa have been regularly named as a contender to sign Barcelona’s Ferran Torres.
Earlier this month, claims from the UK stated the Villans are preparing a €50m bid for the forward.
Mundo Deportivo relay that and provide Aston Villa’s stance on the possibility of signing the 25-year-old in the summer window.
The Premier League club’s sources have told the newspaper that they deny any claim of them preparing an offer. At the same time, they have acknowledged ‘he’s an excellent player’.
Mundo further add Unai Emery’s side like the Spain international but not at that price. It indicates they aren’t willing to offer €50m for the former Manchester City man and want the price to be lowered. The La Liga winners are unlikely to entertain this.
On Monday, Sport stated Barca have no plans to sell him even if Aston Villa were to offer more than €50m.
Torres is happy at Barcelona and his desire is to continue at the Camp Nou, where he is appreciated by Hansi Flick.
To sum it up, several factors make it difficult for Aston Villa to sign Torres in the upcoming window.
The Spaniard managed 19 goals and seven assists this season.
