Premier League
The Arsenal rejected the signing of Ferran Torres in the last summer transfer window, opting instead for the loan of Raheem Sterling from Chelsea, as reported by Football Transfers. Despite FC Barcelona offering the Spanish winger to free up salary space and generate income for other offensive signings, Mikel Arteta and his team chose not to finalize the transfer.
This decision reflects the London club's priority to reinforce with a more experienced player known in the Premier League like Sterling, rather than betting on Ferran Torres, who has yet to fully excel at FC Barcelona.
Arsenal Does Not Want Ferran Torres
Ferran failed to convince the Gunners to include him in their squad for this season, where he hoped to have more playing time and return to his best form. Although the forward is under contract with FC Barcelona until the summer of 2027, Arteta chose not to seize the opportunity to sign him. There is also no interest in acquiring him in the winter transfer market, when the Catalan team hopes to offload him to make way for a new midfielder signing.
On the other hand, Arsenal did accelerate negotiations for Raheem Sterling in the final hours of the summer transfer window. The former Manchester City player, sidelined at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca due to the arrival of several key attackers (Joao Félix, Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto...), was considered a better option by Mikel Arteta. The Spanish coach had a good relationship with the English winger from their time at Manchester City, so he did not hesitate to bet on his signing for this season, aiming to win the Premier League after 20 years.
