Barcelona are keeping tabs on Valencia midfielder Ferran Torres.

Torres is regarded as the best of his generation in Spain and has also been linked with Real Madrid.

However, Barca could have the inside running thanks to their relationship with Torres' management team, Leaderbrock.

Mundo Deportivo says Barca are in regular contact with Leaderbrock to be kept up-to-speed on Torres' situation.

Barca have already had success with Leaderbrock in the past when snapping up teen Pedri from Las Palmas last summer, the midfielder is currently with the Segunda Division outfit on-loan.

Barca believe they can land Torres for €35m this summer, despite his contract carrying a €100m buyout clause.
