Garnacho finds himself in the eye of a storm at Man Utd after marching straight down the tunnel after being replaced in the midweek victory over Ipswich Town, raising questions over how he and head coach Ruben Amorim will see eye-to-eye.

It has been claimed that the Argentina international is on his way out in the summer, having attracted interest from Napoli and Chelsea in January.

While there has been renewed interest from the Serie A club, the worry is that Man Utd’s lavish asking price around the €70 million mark will put them off.

Antonio Conte’s side are set to turn to alternatives, with Barcelona star Ferran Torres a possible addition for the side second in Italy’s top flight. At €40m, he represents a far cheaper alternative to Garnacho and one more polished – after all, the former Manchester City man has 11 goals for the campaign at a rate of one every 93 minutes he’s been on the park.

Arsenal targeting Ferran Torres

This is where Arsenal come in. The Gunners also want to sign Ferran Torres, according to Fichajes.

Mikel Arteta is desperately seeking to reinforce the depth of his attack, and at €40m the Spain international offers a comparatively cheap option to come in and play a role at the Emirates.

Indeed, with nine goals in 28 previous Premier League outings, he possesses a threat that will ease the burden across the attack, particularly because he is capable of featuring in any of the three forward positions.

Arsenal’s attraction to Ferran is, therefore, clear.

If Napoli can win the race to the Spaniard, though, that will close one important potential exit for Garnacho, who is reportedly keen on following the footsteps of Diego Maradona at the club.

This deal for Ferran Torres could, therefore, play a pivotal role in his future.
