Oh Newcastle? Ferran Torres make clear comment after agent informed him of the Magpies interest revealing stance on Barcelona Future.
With just over a week remaining before the transfer window closes, Barcelona have intensified their efforts to offload some of their unwanted players.
The Catalan club is currently in talks with Atletico Madrid regarding a loan deal for Clément Lenglet, while Vitor Roque’s exit is also being negotiated.
Additionally, Barcelona has reached an agreement with Ilkay Gündogan for his departure. In a further attempt to streamline the squad, the club is also looking to sell Ferran Torres.
**Ferran Torres Unmoved by Newcastle’s Interest**
A recent report indicated that Newcastle United have shown interest in signing Ferran Torres, even preparing a lucrative offer for the Barcelona forward.
However, according to MARCA, Ferran Torres has dismissed Newcastle’s interest. The Spaniard is not familiar with the club and has no desire to join the Magpies this summer.
The report also mentions that Ferran has not received any formal offer from Newcastle United. Even if a bid were to come in, the forward has no intention of considering it.
Ferran’s sole focus is to remain at Barcelona and establish himself as a key player in the club’s attacking lineup.
The former Manchester City star is confident that he can secure regular playing time this season, despite the recent signing of Dani Olmo.
**Flick Values Ferran’s Qualities**
Ferran is further motivated by the fact that new coach Hansi Flick has been impressed with his performances so far.
More importantly, the German coach highly values the commitment, passion, and ambition that Ferran has shown.
Flick believes these qualities could make Ferran a valuable asset in attack next season. However, Barcelona are under significant pressure to reduce their wage bill, and Ferran’s departure could greatly help in that regard.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the Barcelona forward this summer.
