Despite Barcelona’s initial ρłɑɴs to sell Ferran Torres this summer due to his lower standing in the pecking order under Xavi Hernandez, the player has never expressed any desire to leave the club, and now the tide may be turning.
Right after the game against Arsenal, he reiterated his desire to continue at the club,saying: “I have a contract here, I’m staying. I don’t care what anyone says about me. I’m going to work as hard as anyone else.”
But, according toJavi Miguel, Torres continues to still be among the list of players who are up for transfer but the Spaniard’s departure is not clear, and there is a chanceBarcelonacould єɴԀ up keeping him.
This would be in line with other ɾєρօɾτs that stated Xavi is now contemplating adifferent role for Torresin the upcoming season.
The 23-year-old footballer has demonstrated his versatility, showcasing his abilities across the entire front three.
These ɾєρօɾτs grow increasingly strong after Torres was one of the bright points forBarcelonain their 5-3 pre-season friєɴԀly defeat to Arsenal, where he showed his versatility and skill.
As Xavi explores ways to incorporate Torres into the squad for the upcoming season, Barcelona’s focus could shift toward retaining the player.
Barcelona’s other transferrable players
Journalist Miguel also states that withNico Gonzalez’s departureall but confirmed, the next players thatBarcelonawill look to sell are Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, and Franck Kessie.
Earlier news also suggested that Lenglet will not play forBarcelonain pre-season so that they can accelerate his departure, as well as that of Sergino Dest.
The latter has had a turbulent spell with the club and has seemingly not convinced Xavi to include him in his ρłɑɴs.
As for Kessie, the midfielder has been linked with moves tothe Premier Leagueor a return to the Serie A and has ɾєρօɾτedly even drawn offers already.
