The situation of Ferran Torres has sparked much discussion at Barça, especially after his great year. The Valencian started the season on the bench, but little by little he has been earning opportunities. He has ended the year with impressive numbers, especially considering the few minutes he played.
Barça is recovering satisfactorily from their financial problems and have already started moving in the market. In fact, Joan García's arrival has already been confirmed, but it won't be the only one. In this context, Ferran Torres has taken a stand and has one condition to stay with the team from the Catalan capital.
Ferran Torres and Barça
Barça have many high-quality footballers and, obviously, competition in every position is very high. The forward line and midfield are two very crowded areas and everything suggests that another reinforcement will arrive. Fans will greatly enjoy the new arrivals, but the players who are already Culers could lose minutes.
Barça have jumped into the transfer market and the board is working to see which options are best. Ferran Torres has silenced everyone who didn't trust him, but he is still far from being a starter. Lately, the forward has played as a center forward to give Lewandowski a rest.
Ferran Torres has ended the year with considerable numbers: he has scored 19 goals and provided 7 assists in 2,101 yd. (1,921 m). Several teams have shown interest in him and have promised him a leading role, which has led Ferran to want to speak with Flick. The forward wants to know his real situation and wants to be a starter to keep improving.
Flick's decision
If Flick wants to keep counting on Ferran Torres for next year, he will have to give him more prominence and opportunities. If not, it is possible that the Valencian will choose one of the offers he has on the table. Among them are some big-name teams, such as Aston Villa and Newcastle.
If Ferran Torres wants to leave for another team, they will have to pay Barça approximately 50 million euros. Although nothing can be taken for granted, it is likely that there will be conversations between the forward and the club's coaching staff in the coming months.
