Valencia are apparently not willing to make it easy for Manchester City to snap up winger Ferran Torres. According to The Daily Telegraph, the Spanish club are refusing to budge on the Spanish under-21 international’s £73million price tag, despite Torres signalling his desire to play under Pep Guardiola.

The Telegraph also reports Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Atletico Madrid and Uruguay defender Jose Gimenez. Frank Lampard is desperate to bulk-up his team’s defensive capabilities over the summer and Gimenez has been looked at as a potential key figure of any changes to the team’s backline.
