AC Milan tried to sign a player from Barcelona

AC Milan was looking for a reinforcement for their attack following Álvaro Morata's departure to Galatasaray in the final days of the winter transfer market. The Rossoneri's sports management had a clear primary target: Ferran Torres. Before finalizing the arrival of Joao Félix from Chelsea, the Italian team tried by all means to secure the FC Barcelona forward, but faced an insurmountable obstacle.

As reported by Marca, from the first contact, the response from Barcelona's sports director, Deco, was unequivocal: Ferran Torres was not for sale. The possibility of initiating negotiations was not even considered. The club and Hansi Flick fully trust the Spanish player, whose performance has been more than positive despite strong competition in the offensive line, where he competes with figures like Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal.

It was not the first time Ferran Torres appeared in Milan's agenda

Milan's persistence was not new. In the past, when Rafael Leão was close to a departure, Ferran was already on the list of candidates to replace him. On this occasion, the interest resurfaced due to the need to strengthen the attack after Morata's departure. However, faced with Barcelona's absolute refusal, the Lombard entity ended up opting for the loan of Joao Félix.

Milan was not the only club that tried to sign the Spanish forward. Napoli also sought his incorporation after Kvaratskhelia's move to PSG, but received the same negative response. Even clubs like Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and Saudi Arabian teams showed interest unsuccessfully.
