Al- Ittihad are ready to offer €60 million to Barcelona striker Ferran Torres this summer, as per Fichajes. The Spanish striker has been going through a great form and has turned heads in the Middle East.
Ferran Torres smashed 19 goals and seven assists from 45 matches across all competitions for the LaLiga champions. Majorly, he played as a backup for Robert Lewandowski, while also playing on the flanks when required.
Torres began the new season with two goals in two matches already. The player is highly valued by Hansi Flick because of his versatility, and is a pivotal part of the German manager's plans.
However, Barcelona remain under financial restraints and are likely to turn down player sales to resolve the situation. Al-Ittihad are now ready to tempt the Spanish Giants with an attractive offer for the 25-year-old.
The Saudi side are looking to strengthen their attack and initially wanted Porto's Mora for the job. Their €75 million offer for the teenage sensation, however, was rejected by the Portuguese side.
Porto are not keen to let Mora go, prompting Al-Ittihad to turn to Torres. Barca are struggling to register players at the moment, and funds from the Spaniard's potential sale could help their cause.
However, The striker remains settled at Barcelona and does not wish to leave. Meanwhile, Flick also wants the side to keep hold of Torres.
