Aston Villa closely following 25-year-old Barcelona forward – Report | OneFootball

Without any doubt, the trio of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha has been a key ingredient in the highly successful 2024-25 season that FC Barcelona have had up to now.

This frontline is among the best in Europe and is also on track to beat some of the goalscoring records in the illustrious history of the Blaugrana club.

Naturally, with the way they are playing, the substitutes rarely get a chance to start a game, and this is true even for a forward like Ferran Torres, who has been highly efficient with the minutes he has got this season.

He has been a good option for Flick from the bench, but he has still remained only a substitute, and other clubs across Europe are keeping an eye on his situation.

This is particularly true for the Premier League side Aston Villa, as Fichajes reports that the Villans are closely following him. The possibility of joining the English side will also be interesting for the player, particularly if Unai Emery’s side offers him a relevant role in the team.

It is not surprising to see the Premier League side showing an interest in Torres, as the Birmingham club has been undertaking some ambitious moves in the market in recent years, and wants to keep bringing the reinforcements that will allow them to become a real competitor for the top titles.

The 25-year-old Spaniard is an attractive target for them mainly because of his versatility and his experience of playing in the Premier League, where he spent some years in the Manchester City ranks.

The player’s entourage does not rule out a move, especially if the economic and sporting offers are convincing, even though Torres recently ensured that he is not too concerned with having a secondary role in the team.

Meanwhile, Barcelona themselves have also not made any decision in this regard yet, and it remains to be seen how this move pans out in the coming months.
