By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly one of the clubs interested in signing Valencia’s in-demand winger Ferran Torres.
Torres, who came through the ranks at Valencia, has been earning rave reviews for his performances for the Spanish club this season. The 20 year old has six goals and seven assists to his name, and is attracting the interest of a number of big clubs around Europe, including Borussia Dortmund.
Juventus, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax are also said to be keen on signing the highly rated winger.
According to Spox, Borussia Dortmund are leading the chase for his signature. The Black and Yellows reportedly signalled at the start of the year that they would be submitting a formal offer for the Spain U21s international, especially if Jadon Sancho leaves in the summer.
Bayern Munich have reportedly been tracking Torres for the last 12 months, however interest from the Bundesliga champions is said to have cooled. Juventus have also been heavily linked with a move for the winger in recent days.
Torres has a release clause of 100 million euros in his contract, but with his current deal set to expire at the end of the 2020/21 season, he is likely to be made available for a much cheaper fee in the summer.
Torres is not the only winger Borussia Dortmund are keeping tabs on as they look for a potential Jadon Sancho replacement. Der BVB have also been linked with moves for highly rated Brazilian winger Everton Soares in recent months.
