FERRAN TORRES could be tempted by a move to Barcelona – and not just for the football.
The Manchester City striker is reportedly dating Sira Martinez, the daughter of ex-Barca boss Luis Enrique.
Sira is a professional show-jumper in the Catalan capital and a member of the swanky Barcelona Royal Polo Club.

New boss Xavi is looking to rebuild following his side’s shock Champions League exit and poor form since the departure of talisman Lionel Messi.
The 21-year-old Torres has even been marked as the top name on Xavi’s shortlist of January targets.
The Spain international has missed 14 games so far this season with a fractured foot.

The LaLiga giants are also thought to be eyeing Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech if they fail to land Torres next month.
