In that time, <i>El Submarino Amarillo<\/i> have won the Europa League while Pau Torres received a call-up to the Spanish national team, where he has since been capped 17 times.<\/p>\n<p>Torres&#8217; ability is one thing but the key to his current interest levels is the fact that he is available this summer. Torres&#8217; release clause of roughly \u00a360 million is valid from this summer which means that any club to offer up the money can avoid a summer-long transfer saga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n\">\n<div id=\"id__2s0zggirktv\" class=\"css-1dbjc4n\" aria-labelledby=\"id__d2toob5w3a id__s0fajvqfht\">\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1s2bzr4\">\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1ets6dv r-1867qdf r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1ny4l3l r-1udh08x r-o7ynqc r-6416eg\">\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n\">\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n\">\n<h3 class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x\">Necessary Signing<\/h3>\n<p>The three main teams linked with Pau Torres are Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Chelsea have a growing need to bolster their defence with<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/04\/25\/antonio-rudiger-and-real-madrid-agreement\/\" target=\"_self\"> Antonio Rudiger<\/a> set to join Real Madrid. In addition, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva are both ageing so a 25-year-old central defender would be of use to Chelsea for many years to come and freshen up the backline long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United are seemingly intent on overhauling the team ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/04\/18\/manchester-united-erik-ten-hag\/\" target=\"_self\">Erik ten Hag<\/a> joining the club as manager and will need replacements for their current line of defender, who have largely been underperforming on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City will also be looking to bolster their defensive lineup with Pau Torres. The side isn&#8217;t in desperate need of the player but he would provide them with added rotational depth in the defensive area.<\/p>\n<p>Pau Torres will certainly be a name to watch this summer as a number of top clubs battle for his signature.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"0dCyzQ04QuFxroWeb-WxbQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1240041127\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'0dCyzQ04QuFxroWeb-WxbQ',sig:'hmHkAiMovCvO9qCPE1e7rwjOt0A5zBkxNh3wHnM0HqM=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1240041127',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Villarreal defender Pau Torres is garnering interest from a number of top Premier League clubs according to Fabrizio Romano.
