Four-time Premier League winners Manchester City<\/a> are showing serious interest in Valencia winger Ferran Torres<\/a>, but the Spanish club are unwilling to budge unless their \u00a373 million fee is met.<\/p>\n

Several top clubs have been keeping tabs on the 20-year-old after he caught the eye this season with six goals and seven assists in all competitions at the Mestalla.<\/p>\n

Valencia Standing Firm on Ferran Torres Fee<\/h2>\n

Manchester City Looking for Leroy Sane Replacement<\/h3>\n

After Leroy Sane switched to Bayern Munich for \u00a350 million<\/a> from the Etihad, Ferran Torres might be Manchester City\u2019s direct replacement for the German winger.<\/p>\n

Torres, like Sane<\/a>, is a creative genius who possesses bursting pace and agility. His versatility allows him to comfortably play on both flanks of attack, as he can cut in from the left-flank and having a go at goal with his stronger right foot.<\/p>\n

He is also an adept dribbler of the ball, making him a worrying threat to any opposing full-back.<\/p>\n

The promising Span U21 international, who would fill Sane\u2019s boots, is a long-term buy for Pep Guardiola, a he is four years younger than the new Bayern man.<\/p>\n

With one year left on his current contract, Manchester City intend to swoop in and get their man at a reduced price, as Valencia also failed to secure Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

Valencia Unwilling to Sell<\/h3>\n

Valencia are reportedly unwilling to release their star prospect unless their \u00a373 million valuation is met for the 20-year-old,\u00a0according to the Telegraph’s<\/a> James Ducker.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard has a \u00a391 million fee release clause but the club\u2019s officials are willing to listen to offers starting from \u00a373 million.<\/p>\n

More Signings Expected For City<\/h3>\n

On the 13th of July, Manchester City were guaranteed their Champions League participation next season, after the CAS overruled their two-year ban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola can, therefore, splash the cash in attracting the very best talents, with Torres the first of many transfers expected at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

Napoli\u2019s Kalidou Koulibaly<\/a> has been heavily linked with the Manchester club<\/a> as Pep Guardiola desperately seeks to sort out his defensive frailty.<\/p>\n

Nathan Ake<\/a> has also been the subject of a \u00a335 million switch to the Citizens as they hope to bolster their squad and challenge for the Premier League title next season.<\/p>\n
