Manchester City will not be signing a replacement for Ferran Torres in January, Pep Guardiola has said. He recently revealed that the club will take their time with getting a replacement, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the Citizens will be very happy to bide their time in the transfer market after completing a big-money deal with Barcelona.
Pep added that Manchester City will also not be signing a striker in January as the owners aren’t looking in that direction.
His words, “No, we’re not going to bring in any striker in January.”
“Txiki [Begiristain] didn’t tell me anything officially [about Torres going to Barcelona] so I cannot answer. I know they are negotiating, I think it’s close, that’s all. When the club announces it’s done but not right now. Txiki didn’t call or text me about it to say it’s already done.”
On Ferran, “I want happiness for my players. If you’re not happy you have to leave. We are not a club like other teams when you want to leave the CEO and president say no.”
“Another issue is the agreement with the clubs, it’s not my business. If the club isn’t accepting the offer, you have to stay. That’s why players have marvellous agents, they negotiate through the media, the weapons they have to do the deals. It’s not the case for Ferran.”
“Everyone, if you want to leave because you’re not happy here, you believe you’ll be happy somewhere else, you have to go. Careers are short, one day it’s over. If he wants to leave, absolutely no disappointment. I’m happy for him.”
