Barcelona left ‘surprised’ by attacker’s public comments | OneFootball

Those in the boardroom at La Liga giants Barcelona were left somewhat taken aback by the comments laid out by Ferran Torres regarding his future this week.

This comes after the attacker sent a clear message to the Camp Nou brass regarding their upcoming contract renewal negotiations.

Frontman Ferran has of course seen his name dominate the headlines across not only Spain, but much of Europe over the last couple of weeks. Ahead of the expiration of his Barcelona contract terms in 12 months’ time, the 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.

Drawn on his upcoming discussions with the Blaugrana regarding a potential renewal early this week, Ferran therefore made use of the opportunity to make his feelings very much known:

“What do Barça have to do? Show that they really want me, that they’ve come to negotiate. In the end, it’s all about talking.”

And as alluded to above, these comments have since not gone at all unnoticed behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital…

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, though Joan Laporta and co. have not been left angered or ‘lost their composure’ with their attacking star:

‘FC Barcelona received Ferran Torres’ latest statements with surprise. What was not expected is that he said the club has to show him that they want him when the club have already told him for weeks that they want to renew his contract but that it must be in September for ‘fair play’ reasons.’
