Barcelona intends to capitalize on Ferran Torres’ impressive form to secure a substantial financial compensation. While the club had previously been content with around €25 million to facilitate the player’s departure, they will now demand at least €35 million to initiate negotiations. His value has risen significantly after taking full advantage of the opportunities presented to him under the leadership of Hansi Flick.
Although his role has been secondary, Ferran has fulfilled it excellently, becoming a luxury substitute and contributing a considerable number of goals. With players like Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha in the team, it was impossible for Ferran to be a regular starter. However, he fully understood his role and scored a total of 16 goals along with three assists in all competitions he participated in.
Ferran boasts an impressive scoring rate, netting a goal every 87 minutes, and the Camp Nou crowd is very pleased with his performance. However, this outstanding form does not guarantee his continued stay at the club, as Joan Laporta and Deco continue to evaluate offers for the Spanish international in order to recoup the €55 million Barcelona paid in January 2022, following Xavi Hernandez’s request. Borussia Dortmund is one of the clubs most interested in signing the player.
According to information from Spanish newspaper ‘‘El Nacional‘‘, the German club is looking for attacking reinforcements and has resumed its interest in Ferran Torres, having previously inquired about him when he was at Valencia before his move to Manchester City. Borussia Dortmund intends to use the upcoming quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona as an opportunity to begin negotiations. Hansi Flick has also requested that Karim Adeyemi be included in these talks.
The 23-year-old German winger, Karim Adeyemi, is seen as a highly appealing option to complete the attacking line, thanks to his speed, skills, and impressive high-level experience despite his young age. Whenever given the chance, Adeyemi has proven himself to be one of the best attackers in the continent, having scored eight goals and provided five assists, despite his club Borussia Dortmund’s underwhelming performance. The German club is planning to part ways with him in the summer.
Laporta and Deco are showing significant interest in Karim Adeyemi and are planning to arrange a player swap between him and Ferran Torres, with no cash involved.
