Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are all keeping tabs on Valencia winger Ferran Torres, according to reports in the English media.
Every top team in European football is seemingly interested in signing the Spaniard with the 20-year-old closing in on the final year of his contract at the Mestalla.
Torres does have a buyout clause of €100m (£89m) but Valencia will likely sell him for a lot less to ensure he doesn’t leave for nothing. Fans on Twitter think securing Torres’s signature would be a good idea:

With Leroy Sane almost certain to leave the Etihad Stadium for Bayern Munich, a replacement will be needed, and Torres could fit the bill.
The winger does generally play off the right-wing, so he wouldn’t be a like-for-like replacement for the German, but he is a promising young talent who could turn into a top player under manager Pep Guardiola’s guidance.
