Ferran Torres leaving FC Barcelona?
FC Barcelona plans to transfer Ferran Torres in the summer due to his inconsistent performance and tactical changes. The club's sporting director, Deco, is open to offers, with an asking price of around 25 million euros. Barcelona believes a transfer could benefit both Torres and the club's future strategy.
FC Barcelona's patience with Ferran Torres has run out. Since joining from Manchester City for 55 million euros in January 2022, Torres has not met expectations. He has scored only 26 goals in 121 matches, and under new coach Hansi Flick, his situation has worsened with just one goal in eight matches this season. Flick reportedly wants Torres transferred in the upcoming winter market to generate income for a new striker, which is a priority for Barcelona. Despite pressure from fans and the coaching staff, Torres is said to be reluctant to leave, complicating a potential sale.
Ferran Torres has faced significant criticism from both fans and journalists due to his performance at Barcelona. Although he has proven to be an effective player when coming off the bench, his recent display against Osasuna was subpar, resulting in considerable backlash on social media. He missed an important chance before halftime, and a fan account described his first touch as horrendous. Journalist Javi Miguel expressed that playing with Torres was worse than playing with 10 men. For some time, Torres has been viewed as a potential candidate for sale by Barcelona, particularly after being labeled a waste of €55 million.
Barcelona are willing to offer Ferran Torres as a makeweight in a deal to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan.
