Ferran Torres is one of the players who could enter the transfer list for FC Barcelona for the summer. The striker has only played 1,000 minutes this season, but is confident of regaining the confidence of Xavi Hernández
The FC Barcelona follows without defining the future of Ferran Torres. The forward had options to contemplate a possible cession in the wintry market, but descartó any possibility to go out convinced in that the hard calendar that expects him to the culés in the second stretch of the season will be his best ally to recover the confidence of Xavi Hernández the one who, for the time being, considers him like the last option in attack.
The one of Foios only has played 44 minutes in LaLiga this year, conditioned by his expulsion in the crash in front of the Athletic of Madrid the past 8 January (triumph culé 0-1). The Disciplinary Committee punished him with two days of suspension after his particular crossing with Stefan Savic and, to his return to the announcement, hardly played 12 minutes delivered equally in front of Betis (victory 2-4) and Seville (goleada 3-0).
It is as well as Ferran grieve sum 1.000 minutes delivered in all the competitions in what it goes of the 2022/23, with 5 goals and 1 assistance. Three of his so many achieved them in the Champions League in front of Viktoria Plzen, whereas in League only has 'wetted' in the defeat in front of the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu (3-1 on 16 October by the day 9) and in the date 11 in front of the Athletic (4-0 on 23 October).
However, the player of 22 years follows convinced in that remain in the Barça is the best for his future. Torres landed in Catalonia in January of 2022 in return of 55 million euros, being the traspaso more expensive of the past season for the managerial culé. After a first semester with a lot of altibajos, the forward was losing opportunities after the arrivals of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, being for the time being the fifth forward for the technician culé, behind Ousmane Dembélé and Ansu Fati.
Xavi will follow having Ferran while it was available
Further of the little shooting that has had the one of Foios from the World-wide, Xavi keeps his confidence in him. "It is well, it is a player that always trains well. Always, it play 10, 30, 60' always with same dynamic, does not go down the arms, is professional, is an example inside the staff. They go out him better or worse the things. Play what have to play always does the work, leaves the skin by the team. It is fundamental. It generates me a confidence tremenda. Perhaps yes that needs a goal to reach this confidence", said the míster of Terrassa in the previous of the party in front of the Girona, where Ferran was low by sanction.
The return of the Europe League and the semifinals of the Glass of the King will force to the egarense to use all his basic wardrobe to follow surrendering to tope in the three competitions. There, the '11' will have opportunities to show that yes it can do a place in the Barça, in spite of the hard competition. In summer, the parts will argue which is the best option for his future, but for now there is not at all clear-cut and the player does not have intention any to leave without litigating by a place.
