Barcelona stand firm on 25-year-old player’s future amid transfer rumours – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona had a very good 2024/25 season, securing the domestic treble and being minutes away from reaching the Champions League final.

Hansi Flick came in like a saviour at a time when things weren’t looking great for the Catalan club. He managed to improve the fortunes of a number of players in the squad.

Among the many players who showcased a different dimension last season, one of them was Ferran Torres. The Spaniard kept growing and growing through the course of the season.

Ferran’s time at Barcelona had been a mixed bag until last season. He seemed to be suffering from a bit of an identity crisis without having a fixed position.

However, one of the things that Flick did very well with him was profiling him as a number nine and playing him as an alternative to Robert Lewandowski. It is fair to say that the 25-year-old repaid his manager’s faith.

Now, as per Fichajes, Barcelona have closed the door on a potential departure for Ferran Torres this summer. The Spaniard was linked with a potential Saudi move until a few days ago.

Ferran also has interest from the Premier League. His versatility makes him a very valuable asset to most top clubs around the world, and Flick certainly sees the value in keeping him around.

With Lewandowski now 36, he will likely need more rest between games and may not be able to start every other match over a long season.

Thus, the upcoming 2025/26 season might be the biggest that Ferran is going to have in a Blaugrana jersey. It is great news that he is assured to stay, and let’s hope he can continue impressing in the upcoming campaign.
