Man City make Valencias Torres main summer transfer target sources

Valencia winger Ferran Torres tops Manchester City's summer wanted list, sources have told ESPN.
Torres is keen on a move to the Etihad Stadium and Valencia are resigned to losing the 20-year-old, who has entered the final year of his contract.

City have already sold winger Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich and although manager Pep Guardiola has never said publicly he wants a direct replacement, there is a gap in his squad.
As well as Torres, director of football Txiki Begiristain is also targeting at least one new centre-back ahead of next season.
City's summer recruitment has been made more simple after their two-year European ban was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport but privately club bosses insist it does not mean there will be a blank cheque for new players.
Meanwhile, City are expected to organise a friendly to prepare for their Champions League round-of-16 second leg with Real Madrid on Aug. 7.
Guardiola has opted to keep his players in Manchester rather than granting them time off following the end of the Premier League season.
The friendly is set to take place behind closed doors in the build up to the clash with the newly-crowned Spanish champions.
Guardiola announced on Monday that striker Sergio Aguero will miss the tie as he recovers from a knee operation.
