Will Barça let him go? Juventus insists on Ferran Torres as a winter reinforcement

FC Barcelona is still waiting to make money in the winter market with some important sale. One of the footballers who can leave the most millions in the culés' coffers is Ferran Torres, for whom the club aspires to earn between 15 and 20 million euros. The winger has had interesting offers to return to the Premier League or try his luck in another 'top' league, but he has insisted on fighting for a place at Barça. Looking ahead to the winter market, the '7' could change his mind.

According to the latest information, the 'Shark' would be Thiago Motta's first option to reinforce Juventus' attack in January. The 'Old Lady' has had a good start to the season, undefeated in 8 games, but with some problems scoring in Serie A. The team has 3 goalless draws in the league that have generated concern in the coaching staff, which is why The decision to go for a striker in the next window would have been made.

In addition to Ferran, the 'bianconeri' team has options on the table such as Arnaud Kalimuendo (French from Stade Rennes) or the former Real Madrid player, Luka Jovic, who is currently a substitute at AC Milan. However, Juve's plans are more aimed at negotiating a six-month loan, without a purchase option. Barça, for its part, would prioritize a sale, as long as the Valencian counts as an alternative for Hansi Flick.

Ferran Torres could follow in Ansu Fati's footsteps in January

In that sense, the role that the culé '7' assumes between now and the end of the year will be key. At the moment, Torres has accumulated 424 minutes of action spread over 9 games, 6 of them as a starter. The one from Foiós has 1 goal and 2 assists, but has not been able to take advantage of the opportunities with any stellar performance. His best game so far was against Valladolid, where he scored and assisted coming off the bench.

If his performance does not improve, Ferran could return to the transfer list in winter, a section where Ansu Fati already is. It is taking longer than expected for the '10' to return to his best version and, given the possibility of incorporating another player in January, Barça does not rule out giving him an exit in January through another loan, perhaps to a LaLiga club (Sevilla loved him in summer). The 'Shark', on the other hand, has another interesting alternative outside of Spain: Newcastle.
