Ferran Torres remains firm in his decision to continue at FC Barcelona. The Valencian forward, preparing for his fifth season as a Blaugrana, keeps his ambition intact to establish himself as a key player in the team, now under the command of Hansi Flick. Despite the constant transfer rumors surrounding him in every transfer window, the Spanish international does not consider any scenario other than Camp Nou.
This summer, strong interest has emerged from England's Aston Villa, a club led by Unai Emery, willing to pay around 50 million euros to secure his services. However, as it has been revealed, neither the player's entourage has shown interest in negotiating, nor does Ferran intend to leave the Catalan project.
This stance, although admirable on the part of the player, poses a dilemma for Barça. According to the newspaper Sport, in a delicate economic context, earning a sum close to 50 million for a player who has not been a regular could have been a significant relief to adjust the wage limit and make new signings.
An important player for Flick, but the millions would come in handy
Torres, 25, ended last season with good stats (19 goals and 7 assists) and aims to continue growing, even competing with Lewandowski for the center-forward role. His contract runs until 2027, and his presence in the dressing room is well appreciated. Besides, both Flick and Luis de la Fuente see him as a reliable option.
The player is clear about it: “I only see myself at Barça.” A statement of loyalty that, paradoxically, could become an obstacle for a board in need of liquidity and forced to make tough decisions.
