Guardiola won’t sign Torres replacement in January as Man City prepare to sanction €55m Barcelona sale

 The Premier League champions are happy with their attacking options and have no intention of spending next month

Manchester City will not be signing a replacement for Ferran Torres in January says Pep Guardiola, with the Citizens happy to bide their time after completing a big-money deal with Barcelona.

GOAL were able to confirm on Wednesday that the Spain international forward is preparing to head back to his homeland with an agreement that will initially be worth €55 million (£47m/$62m).

That transfer will free up squad space and funds at Etihad Stadium with the reigning Premier League champions already short on a prolific No 9, but Guardiola is adamant he will not be seeking out attacking reinforcements in the winter.
