Aston Villa prepares a €60m offer for Barcelona star as the English club ramps up efforts to land the dynamic star.
The Birmingham-based club has identified the Barcelona forward as a key target to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, recognizing his quality and experience at the highest level of Spanish football.
Aston Villa’s recruitment team has been monitoring the player closely, seeing him as an ideal fit for their attacking style under manager Unai Emery.
In a significant development, Aston Villa prepare €55 million bid for Barcelona star Ferran Torres, according to Fichajes.
The 26-year-old Spanish international has been a key contributor for Barcelona, scoring 21 goals in 48 games this season despite a rough start to 2026.
Aston Villa views Torres as a proven La Liga performer who can immediately strengthen their attacking options in the Premier League.
Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in 2022 for over €50 million, and while he has shown flashes of brilliance, he has struggled to consistently justify his hefty price tag.
The forward has become increasingly available as Barcelona looks to raise funds for new signings, with the club open to listening to offers since Torres is out of contract in 2027.
Aston Villa’s €55 million bid represents a serious attempt to secure a player who has proven ability to score goals at the highest level.
The Spanish forward has been out of contract in 2027, and Barcelona would prefer to move him on this summer rather than risk losing him for free next year.
Aston Villa’s interest in Torres is not new, with the Midlands club having submitted a €60 million bid for the player back in January.
This latest €55 million offer demonstrates Villa’s commitment to securing the Spanish international’s signature and their belief that he can make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
