However, Dortmund deem the price tag quite hefty for a 20-year-old. The Bundesliga giants also feel that that the winger is not 'dangerous enough' to play in Germany. Despite interest from Dortmund, Ferran Torres is convinced with Guardiola's plans and will likely join Man City in the transfer window. Ferran Torres has been one of the standout performers for Valencia this season. The Spaniard managed 34 LaLiga appearances, bagging four goals along with five assists to his credit. In all, he netted six times with eight assists across all competitions.
