Newcastle will improve their offer for one of Barça's forwards in January

FC Barcelona keeps open the possibility of negotiating the transfer of Ferran Torres in the next transfer window. The one from Foiós is counting little in Hansi Flick's plans and, before the '7' continues to lower his market value, the most sensible thing is to try to sell him in January. In that sense, Newcastle can give a hand to a Barça that needs to make money in winter to solve its 'Fair Play' problems.

According to the latest information, the 'magpies' could improve the offer of 15 million euros net that they presented for the 'Shark' last summer. In principle, Saudi prince Mohammed Bin Salmán would be willing to put 20 'kilos' plus a couple extra in variables to sign Ferran. The 24-year-old footballer knows English football well after his time at Manchester City (he scored 16 goals in 43 games) and, unlike in recent markets, he could change his mind about listening to offers.

Ferran's lack of prominence could facilitate his departure from Barça

And, although the '7' knew he was a substitute at the start of the preseason, the truth is that, in 2024/25, he is playing less than he expected. Torres was a starter in the first three days of LaLiga, against Valencia, Athletic and Rayo, but after the duel in Vallecas he has only played 61 minutes spread over three games (he was suspended against Villarreal). The 'Shark' only scored and assisted in the beating of Valladolid (7-0), the only game in which they managed to make a difference in the rival area.

If he continues to accumulate days on the bench and minutes, mostly residual, it is likely that Ferran will agree to leave Barça in January. The forward has left the radar of the Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, which is why he needs to regain the prominence he only enjoyed in his first semester at Can Barça. Last season, the Valencian was the team's best boost coming off the bench, with 11 goals and 4 assists in 42 games. With two and a half years left on his contract, January seems to be the best time for the Barça team to cash in on Ferran Torres, a player who cost 55 million euros in the winter of 2022 and, so far, has not shown the expected level. .
