Ferran Torres gives Barcelona a glowing recommendation of Zinchenko

Barcelona are hoping to reinforce their squad in the summer transfer window and one position of interest is at left-back, and Ferran Torres has recommended the club pursue a deal for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Having signed in January from Manchester City, the Spanish forward has communicated with Joan Laporta, Mateu Alemany and Xavi about the possibility of signing the Ukrainian for the 2022/23 season.

In a report published by Fichajes.net, Torres spoke glowingly about the defender, who sees his contract with Manchester City expire in June of 2024.

The English club are willing to sell him in order to sign a player who can better compete with Joao Cancelo for the starting spot at left-back, and this would attract Barcelona due to the fairly reasonable financial demands.

Furthermore, the relations between the two clubs are good and negotiating wouldn't be a problem after the deal which was struck in January to take Torres himself to the Camp Nou.

Zinchenko has always been a valued squad player for Pep Guardiola, yet he has played just 14 matches in all competitions this season.
