Barcelona have completed the transfer of Ferran Torres from Manchester City for 55 million, but have not been able to sign the Spanish forward. With Barcelona struggling financially, Ferran Torres could only join the squad if some of the current players are left out of the January transfer window.
Xavi spoke to the media about the situation with Ferran Torres ahead of the La Liga match against Mallorca yesterday. Xavi, however, did not say when the intended players would be left out of the squad or when Ferran Torres would be able to make his debut in a Barcelona jersey.

“Ferran Torres is a very good signing as a player and as a person. The player is coming after a major injury and there is no doubt that a very sincere player will give a lot to the team. I am very happy with the effort put in to get the club player.”
“Let’s see what the salary cap situation is and if it’s possible right now. Some players have to go. Xavi told the media.
Dembele, whose contract expires at the end of this season, is not yet ready to sign a new contract. The Barcelona leadership is in talks for that. Meanwhile, fans are skeptical about how Barcelona will find new players in the January transfer window as they struggle to register Ferran Torres with the team.
