Newcastle has set its sights on Ferran Torres as their next big signing to strengthen their squad this summer, taking the first step by inquiring with Barcelona about the cost of his transfer. With the need to add a forward to their ranks, The Magpies have shown a determined interest in the Spanish winger, who could leave the Catalan club in the coming weeks.
Barcelona, currently undergoing financial adjustments, has made it clear that they are willing to negotiate Ferran Torres' departure. The Blaugrana are looking to streamline their squad and recoup part of the investment made in January 2022 when they acquired the player from Manchester City for 55 million euros. Faced with Newcastle's interest, Barcelona has revealed their readiness to sell the Spanish international for a figure close to 30 million euros, significantly less than the initial investment, in an attempt to facilitate his transfer.
Ferran Torres, a rejected player by FC Barcelona on Newcastle's radar
Ferran Torres' situation at Barcelona has been complicated. With the arrival of the new coach, Hansi Flick, it has been indicated that the winger is not in the plans of the German coach, accelerating the search for an exit. Despite the player being under contract until 2025 and feeling comfortable at Camp Nou, the club needs to offload some assets to balance its books and make room for new signings.
Newcastle, having explored other options like Raphinha, has found Torres to be a more economically viable alternative. However, the initial offer of 15 million euros plus variables was quickly rejected by Barcelona, deemed insufficient. Now, the English club could come back with an improved offer, while Barcelona hopes to receive proposals closer to their new valuation of 30 million euros to finalize the deal.
