Barcelona turn down two €50 million bids for 25-year-old star | OneFootball

According to Fichajes, Barcelona have made it clear they are not willing to part ways with Ferran Torres, rejecting two €50 million offers from Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

The Spanish forward, once considered expendable, has worked his way back into the heart of Hansi Flick’s plans.

Last season, his consistent performances and ability to make an impact from the bench impressed the new manager, who has specifically asked the board to keep his core squad intact.

Proven Premier League experience

It is to be noted that interest in Torres is far from new. Aston Villa attempted to sign him last summer with a €20 million bid, a figure that fell well short of the €55 million Barcelona paid Manchester City for his services.

His resurgence has now seen his market value soar, with Tottenham and Newcastle identifying him as a priority target.

Both English clubs were attracted by Torres’ proven Premier League experience from his time at Manchester City, where he spent a season and a half. For them, he represents a ready-made signing capable of bringing creativity, versatility, and goals.

Barcelona against the move

However, Barcelona’s leadership have stood firm. “We don’t want to cause unrest among the coaching staff with more important departures,” was the message from the boardroom.

Sources inside the club suggest that Torres, who recently returned to group training ahead of the Joan Gamper clash, is not only committed to staying but is also open to extending his contract.

His adaptability across the forward line makes him a valuable tool in Flick’s tactical plans, whether as a starter or impact substitute.

With the transfer window still open, offers for Torres may continue to arrive. But for now, Barcelona are standing their ground, determined to keep a player who has proven his worth and aligned himself fully with the team’s long-term vision.
