Barcelona’s €30 million-rated forward putting in extra efforts in training – report

Heading into the new season, there had been a lot of doubts surrounding the future of FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.

After all, the 23-year-old attacker, whose market value stands at €30 million, had endured an underwhelming campaign last time out.

And with the Blaugrana needing to make sales, Torres’ name was understood to be on the transfer list, but the Spaniard seems to have turned things around for himself at the club.

Torres, as per reports, showed up in his best shape physically for pre-season and went on to impress with his performances on the US tour.

And, as per reports from journalist Santi Ovalle, Torres is not letting up and has been putting in extra efforts in training so that he can be at his best when called up by Barcelona manager Xavi.

As per the report, the 23-year-old has been putting in double sessions on a regular basis since the start of the season.

Every time the team is scheduled to train in the afternoon, Torres shows up in the morning itself and goes through individual sessions, while the Spanish international has also shown up for each voluntary training session so far in the new campaign.

Indeed, Torres was one of the five players who showed up to train earlier this week despite Xavi giving two days off after the Cadiz game.

Torres did not get any minutes in the opening match of the season against Getafe, but did make a substitute appearance against Cadiz and made his chance count by scoring a goal.

Since pre-season, the former Manchester City starlet has been scoring a goal every 35 minutes he has been on the pitch.

While the speculations over his future continue, Torres has shown that he is not bogged down by any of it and is doing the talking on the pitch.
