F. Torres to undergo Barcelona medical ahead of €55m transfer from Man City

Ferran Torres is set to undergo a medical at Barcelona ahead of his €55 million (£46m/$62m) transfer from Manchester City, GOAL can confirm.

Torres' 16-month stay at Eithad Stadium is drawing to a close, as GOAL revealed last week that City had reached an agreement with Barca over a permanent transfer.

The Spain international is ready to pen a long-term contract at Camp Nou after deciding to return to his homeland, where he initially began his career at Valencia.

Torres will complete a medical at the Liga giants' training ground on Monday, and all being well, will officially be announced as a Barca player later in the day.

GOAL understands that the club have organised the 21-year-old's first press conference and unveiling to take place at their home ground on Tuesday.

Torres won't be eligible to play for Barca until the January transfer window opens, but could feature when they resume their domestic campaign against Mallorca.
