Barcelona yet to open contract renewal talks with in-form forward

Ferran Torres has been one of the main highlights for Barcelona this season, having started the season with a bang.

In six competitive matches for Barcelona this season, the former Man City starlet has failed to start only once. He has scored four goals as well, making him the most productive Barça player this season.

Ferran’s strong start to the season has led many to focus on his future at Barcelona, with his contract expiring in 2027.

Time not yet right for Ferran’s renewal

According to MARCA, Barcelona have yet to kick-start negotiations with the Spanish international over a new deal.

The Catalans believe the time is not yet right to open talks over Ferran’s renewal at the club. The club have more pressing matters to attend to and do not consider the Spaniard’s renewal a priority at the moment.

This comes at a time when the Catalans have been quite proactive in securing the future of all their key players, with the club notably lining up renewals of Frenkie de Jong and a few others.

It must also be noted that two players whose contracts were expiring in 2027, Raphinha and Jules Kounde, have already renewed their deals.

The delay in Ferran’s deal, therefore, is particularly striking, although the report adds that Barça are currently focusing on the contract extensions of Eric Garcia, De Jong and Andreas Christensen.

All three players are out of contract at the end of the season. And given their importance to Hansi Flick’s setup, the club simply cannot afford to lose any of them on a free transfer.

Once Barcelona sort out the future of these three individuals, the club are expected to kickstart talks with Ferran over a new deal that should secure his long-term future at the club.
