Fiorentina are only willing to part ways with the striker for £70million too.

In a boost to Vlahovic’s potential buyers, Manchester City have already ruled out a potential move.

“It’s not done officially [Ferran Torres’ transfer], I know they are negotiating, it’s close, that’s all. When the club announces it’s done.”
