Saturday’s match between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid at Montjuïc is shaping up to be an early final for Hansi Flick’s men. With an urgent need to secure three points to stay at the top of the standings, the German coach is looking to offload some players this season, as he feels they are no longer needed. Additionally, the funds from their sales would help him finalize the contracts he desires.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, the American team Inter Miami has expressed strong interest in signing Barcelona star Ferran Torres in the upcoming transfer window. This interest comes amid Barcelona coach Hansi Flick’s desire to part ways with Torres due to his declining form and inability to add the required value to the Catalan squad.
It was expected that Ferran Torres would join Inter Miami, contributing to strengthening the American team’s attack. However, in a surprising turn of events, Argentine star and Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi intervened to halt the transfer. The newspaper reports that Messi asked the team’s owner, David Beckham, to stop the signing of Ferran, stating that he wouldn’t be a significant addition to the squad.
Messi, who is familiar with the players’ abilities, believes Torres won’t strengthen the team’s capabilities, especially with the current roster of distinguished players at Inter Miami.
With this decision, it appears that Hansi Flick’s plan to offload Ferran Torres has been thwarted, leaving his future at Barcelona or his next destination uncertain.
