The Spaniard is no stranger to Manchester, having spent two years at Manchester City before moving to Barcelona in 2022.
Torres has developed into an important player and has delivered an impressive 15 goals for Barcelona this season alone.
Under Hansi Flick, he has often been used centrally, while players such as Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Marcus Rashford have had the wide attacking roles. Despite previous interest from Arsenal, Torres has traditionally opposed a return to the Premier League. However, his future is now more uncertain.
The 26-year-old has a contract until 2027, but although there have been talks about an extension, TeamTalk reports that a new deal is not imminent.
Barcelona, meanwhile, continue to deal with financial constraints that affect their transfer plans – a situation that could ultimately benefit Man Utd.
The club’s pursuit of Julián Álvarez is complicated by budget constraints, while they are considering another loan spell for Rashford, potentially postponing a permanent deal until 2027.
Barcelona are also exploring swap deals with Torres
As part of their strategy, Barcelona have explored possible swap deals with both Atlético Madrid and Manchester United.
Sources confirm that Torres has been offered to both clubs as part of these discussions, while intermediaries are working to find possible destinations for the former Valencia player.
For United, the interest is understandable. As our sources have previously revealed, they are actively looking for a versatile attacking player who can operate along the entire front line – a profile Torres fits well into. We are told that the management at Old Trafford is tempted by the opportunity and has a positive view of the player.
Sources stress that any deal for Torres would be separate from the negotiations involving Rashford. However, signing Torres could affect United’s stance on whether to approve another loan spell for the Englishman.
It is also important that Arsenal keep a close eye on developments.
Our sources indicate that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is a long-time admirer of Torres, and would be open to exploring a deal if the opportunity arises.
From Torres’ perspective, he is now weighing his options carefully. A move to either United or Atlético Madrid could offer him a more prominent and stable role – something he may feel is no longer guaranteed at Barcelona, despite his strong contributions.
