Barça are keeping an eye on Jhon Durán as a reinforcement for the forward line. To lower the transfer price, they would be willing to offer Ferran Torres
FC Barcelona are reportedly on the trail of Jhon Durán to reinforce the centre of the forward line during the next transfer market. The Colombian has been one of the great revelations at Aston Villa, with whom he has already scored 6 goals coming off the bench, including the winning goal against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
At 20 years old, the goalscorer has begun to arouse the interest of several clubs across the continent, including Barça, thanks to his spectacular performance, so his name will almost certainly be at the centre of rumours in the summer of 2025. However, his signing would not be cheap, as the player is valued at 35 million euros and the Villains would not ask for less than 50 million for his transfer.
Barça's formula for signing Duran
This high figure would exceed the expectations of the Catalan club, which is considering the possibility of including one of its discards in the operation to lower the demands of Birmingham. In this sense, the newspaper 'El Nacional.cat' assures that the Catalans would offer Ferran Torres in exchange to secure Duran's arrival in Barcelona.
The player from Foios has not yet 'started' in the Blaugrana squad, where they are still waiting for the performance that the player offered when he arrived at the club. Despite the confidence given by Hansi Flick, the player's performances continue to leave much to be desired and the Catalans are no longer ruling out his departure, which is why they would be willing to offer his return to the Premier League to secure the services of one of the most sought-after players on the market.
The Torres option would not go down well at Villa Park, where Monchi and Unai Emery would be happy to sign a player who, at 24, already knows the league and still has a lot of potential to exploit, so the swap seems a viable alternative. An exchange that, looking to the future, would allow Barça to take a step forward in the search for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, whose continuity for the next season is practically assured.
