His joining, like a spring thunderbolt, instantly lit up the dark starry night of Barcelona's front line, breaking the long-standing bottleneck of goals.
Ferran Torres' wish is like a fire that has lit the transfer market. According to reports from Catalan media outlets such as World Sport, Torres is eager to return to the La Liga stage rather than be relegated to the bench at Manchester City.
Guardiola's attitude is unambiguous: if the player's heart is set on something else, he won't force the issue and will only wait for the transfer fee to be properly resolved.
It is reported that the psychological price offered by Manchester City is as high as 70 million euros, but Barcelona's offer is unacceptable to the Blue Moon Army. After a tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached 55 million euros plus 10 million euros floating price agreement, totaling 65 million euros.
In the past, Barcelona has spent as much money as dirt, hundreds of millions of dollars in reinforcements as if it were a family affair. However, now the team is in deep financial difficulties, 65 million euros is an astronomical figure, Harvey's wish will finally come true, the preferred new aid will soon be in place.
Of course, the arrival of Fernando Torres is only the beginning of Barcelona's revitalization plan, and Harland is regarded as the team's future son. However, Harland's salary requirements are extremely high, and he clearly put forward a condition: if Barcelona does not qualify for the Champions League, everything is exempt from negotiation.
Therefore, the task in front of Xavi is both clear and difficult - to go all out to win the Champions League qualification, the only way Barcelona can continue to attract superstars to join in the transfer market. Fortunately, Barcelona is only two points behind fourth-placed Rayo Vallecano, and with 20 more rounds of the season to go, a turnaround is not out of reach.
