Jofre Torrents completes Barcelona exit as Ajax announce signing | OneFootball

While most of the attention of FC Barcelona will be taken by the exciting new signings, like Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Rodri Hernandez, the Blaugrana club has also seen some important players leave this summer. The most prominent of these include Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford, and Ferran Torres.

Meanwhile, some youngsters have also left the club to continue with their growth and development at other clubs where they will find playing time easier to come by. Tommy Marques is one such player who left the club a few days ago.

Now, another young player has completed his move away from Barcelona. As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the fullback Jofre Torrents has joined the Dutch side Ajax, and his transfer has been officially announced by both the clubs.

The defender has signed a contract till 2030 with his new club, but the Catalans retain 50% of his rights, and also have a buyback clause. The Eredivisie side has paid €6 million for the rest of his rights.

Thus, Torrents puts to an end his seven year stay at Barcelona and La Masia. However, his future is still not certain this summer, as it remains to be seen whether he will remain a part of the Ajax team for the next season. While the Dutch side values him a lot, they see him mainly as a project for the future, and are considering sending him on loan right this summer, and he can actually return to Spain, with the La Liga side Celta Vigo interested in getting him on loan.

Anyway, this is an important step in Jofre Torrents’ career, who will now face the challenge of adapting to a new club and fighting for prominence. Hopefully, he will take full advantage of his opportunities and realize his potential to become a top-class fullback in Europe.
