Aston Villa have reportedly made an official bid to sign striker Ferran Torres from Spanish giants Barcelona.
Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Aston Villa have submitted a bid for the highly-rated striker, but are €10 million short of the asking price.
Barcelona are looking for €25 million for Ferran Torres, while Aston Villa are only prepared to pay €15 million.
Aston Villa have had a strong start to the season, specially in the Champions League, and are looking to build on it by strengthening their squad in the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old joined Barcelona from Manchester City in a €55 million deal in January 2022.
The report suggests that Torres would be interested in a move back to the Premier League in order to get regular first-team football.
Reports in the summer suggested that Newcastle United had made a bid of €15 million plus an additional €5 million in add-ons for Torres.
