Ferran Torres seems to be living his last months as a Barcelona player, due to a surprising plan that Joan Laporta intends to implement to strengthen the team’s attack for next season.
The Spanish striker, who has suffered from poor and ineffective performances this season, has become one of the main options for an exit, whether to earn money or to reduce the cost of signing a key player for the club’s future.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, the goal is clear for Laporta and the sporting management: Victor Gyuqueres, the Swedish striker who impresses many in Europe thanks to his physical strength and ability to score goals.
Gyuqueres has attracted the attention of several major clubs, but Barcelona is trying to catch up in the competition to sign him, as Gyuqueres, who currently plays for Sporting Lisbon, is estimated at 100 million euros, a very high amount for the economic situation of the Catalan club.
In this context, Ferran Torres comes into play. Barcelona is not only looking to reduce the transfer fee, but is also looking for a way out for a player who has not fully adapted to Hansi Flick’s system.
The idea of including him in the deal with Sporting Lisbon is seen by Barcelona as an effective way to reduce the cost of signing Gioqueres, who is seen as the reference striker the team needs.
For his part, Ferran Torres may welcome a change of scenery at Sporting Lisbon, as he will have the opportunity to relaunch his career in a less stressful environment than Barcelona, while still playing in prestigious European competitions.
In addition, the Portuguese league has historically been a springboard for young players seeking to establish themselves before moving to the big leagues.
The process is still in the study phase, but it is clear that Joan Laporta is determined to carry out this surprise move to strengthen Barcelona.
If all goes as planned, Ferran Torres could be the key to facilitating the arrival of Victor Gioqueres at the Camp Nou, paving the way for a new era in the Blaugrana’s attacking line.
