Aston Villa late approach for ‘established’ player – Entourage responds to claims

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Tammy Abraham from Beşiktaş while Leon Bailey returned to Villa Park last month. Unai Emery’s side have also added Alysson to their squad in the winter market.

The Villans are still looking at another attacker. The UK press reported Aston Villa are keen on Barcelona’s Ferran Torres. These claims also emerged last summer, and the Spanish press had then dismissed it.

Estadio Deportivo now look at the latest claims of Aston Villa and then share their own take.

Hansi Flick has mainly utilised him as a striker and at times on both wings. He’s scored 16 goals and contributed one assist from 29 matches for Barcelona so far this season.

According to Estadio, the Spain international is already an ‘established’ player under Flick at the Camp Nou.

The latest claims from the UK are stating Aston Villa are seriously considering trying to sign him, likely on deadline day. Emery believes his compatriot can be a good fit for Aston Villa because of versatility and goalscoring ability.

Estadio waste no time in dismissing the possibility of the former Manchester City man’s exit. Despite approaches from the Premier League, Barcelona want to retain him for long.

Torres has less than 18 months left on his contract. His entourage are also ruling out a move away from the La Liga side.

According to the newspaper, those close to him ‘transmit tranquillity’. The attacker has already established himself under the German coach and his desire is to continue with the Catalan club. His camp wants no obstacles when negotiating with Barca for his renewal.

Amid claims of Aston Villa seriously considering a move, Torres and Barcelona are ruling out an exit, at least for deadline day.
