According to the talksport, the English club is ready to break all rumors about the signing amount to get Valencia player for the upcoming Premier League season 2020-21 which will start next month. Torres will be the second signing for Manchester City of this summer, following the signing of right-back Issa Kabore from Mechelen.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal will be expected to be done in €37 million. The 23-years old player is now set to sign a five-year contract with Manchester City.
The deal looks to be completed on Tuesday and the other reports are also signifying that the signing value could be lower and around the £20million mark.
Terry Gibson, the former Spurs and United player said on talksport, “He is worth more than double that (£20million). It’s an astonishing transfer because the circumstances of what we are in at the moment and I think transfer fees will begin to dwindle down a touch. Also, the fact he only had a year left on his contract so Valencia are looking to take up a big building process and I think it’s been clear there must have been other clubs interested in him.”
Despite being signed to the club, the right-winger will not be eligible to feature in Manchester City’s first Champions League fixture against Real Madrid on Friday.
