ARSENAL want to sign Ferran Torres from Barcelona, according to reports.
Torres, 23, joined the La Liga giants in a £55million transfer from Manchester City in December 2021.
Upon his arrival at the Nou Camp, a huge £842m release clause was inserted into his five-and-a-half-year contract.
However, Barcelona are expected to put the striker up for sale when the summer transfer window opens in order to raise funds for the potential return of club legend Lionel Messi.
And they will accept far less than his release clause.
According to TalkSPORT, Arsenal are considering a swoop for Torres.
