Manchester City are in advanced talks to complete the signing of winger Ferran Torres from Valencia in a deal worth €25m plus a further €10m in add-ons.
That is according to a report from Valencia-based journalist Hector Gomez, who claims talks between the player’s agent Jorge Mendes and City transfer chief Txiki Begiristain on Wednesday were productive.

Torres is entering the final year of his contract at the Mestalla and thus his market value may be seen as particular value for a buying club this summer.
Leroy Sane has left the English side to join Bayern Munich and it is believed Torres – who has been a focus of Premier League transfer news this summer – has been identified as his replacement.
City are said to have offered their midfielder Yangel Herrera to Los Che after the Venezuelan starred in a loan stint with Granada this campaign.
Herrera played 36 matches for Granada, scoring two goals and handing out three assists to help the club qualify for European football for the first time.
