‘I don’t like Barcelona’ – Ferran Torres’ grandfather reveals surprising club preference | OneFootball

Although they have players playing for several teams, the one team that has the highest representation of FC Barcelona players playing the World Cup 2026 is Spain. Luis de la Fuente called up 8 Blaugrana players for the World Cup, including Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, Joan Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, and Gavi.

Thus, it would not have been a very welcome spectacle for Barcelona fans as they saw Spain getting only a draw from their opening game against Cape Verde. One of the players who has faced particularly criticism for his performance in that game is the forward Ferran Torres, who enjoyed some clear chances to score, but was unable to take full advantage of these.

While he continues to play in the World Cup, his future at Barcelona has faced some uncertainty over the last few months, particularly as he has only a year left on his contract, and has not yet started negotiations with the Blaugrana club for a new contract. However, some recent reports suggest that the Catalan side is counting on the player and is planning on offering him a new contract.

However, not everyone wants to see him at Barcelona. As SPORT has noted, this is also the case with one of Torres’ close relatives, i.e., his grandfather. After the draw against Cape Verde, the forward’s grandfather spoke to a reported from Television Espanola, and while talking about his performance for Spain, also made the following comment:

“I don’t like Barcelona; I’d rather he be at Levante, plain and simple.”

It would be interesting to see whether Ferran Torres’ grandfather would be able to influence his grandson into joining Levante this summer, which seems to be a very distant possibility. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how his career at Barcelona would pan out, especially if the Catalan side signs another top-class center-forward, who can make it difficult for the Spaniard to get consistent minutes on the pitch.
