"He's worth 50m, but Villa won't let him go. Why would you want to let one of the best players in your squad go halfway through the season unless it was for major money? I think it would take more than 50m, but I can't see him going. He's playing for Aston Villa, and he's under contract, so they can forget it. Unless he's going for ridiculous money, he'll be staying at Aston Villa."
"Aston Villa have had an outstanding season so far, and they are very much in the title race. They need to keep their key players in order to sustain their position in the table and do well during the second half of the campaign. Keeping the Spanish defender at the club until the end of the season would be a wise decision."
Pau Torres has been linked with a move to Barcelona, who would likely need to pay a premium above 50 million to secure the transfer. Barcelona's current financial difficulties make an offer significantly above that valuation unlikely. Aston Villa consider Torres one of their best players and are expected to resist selling a key defender halfway through the season unless presented with a substantial fee. Torres remains under contract and is integral to Villa's strong title-challenge campaign, making a January exit improbable unless he actively seeks to force a move or Barcelona submit an extraordinary bid.
