Ferran Torres has endured a difficult season at Barcelona so far, which has led to question marks over his future at the club. The 22-year-old has struggled to perform at the desired level after having made an impact upon his arrival last January.

With the Spaniard having fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou, Mundo Deportivo is reporting that Torres could have left Barcelona in the recent January transfer window as a leading Premier League club had tabled an offer for him.

However, the versatile forward had no desire to listen to any offers as he remains intent on proving himself at Camp Nou and becoming a key player under Xavi.

Torres arrived at Barcelona in the January transfer window last year, with the Catalans spending €55 million to bring him from Manchester City. The ex-Valencia ace played his part in helping the club achieve a second-place finish in La Liga last term.

However, the arrivals of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in the summer, coupled with Ousmane Dembele’s form, led to Torres’ opportunities reducing. When he did get opportunities, the Spanish international failed to make the most of them.

So far, in all competitions, he has a tally of five goals and an assist, with his last goal for Barcelona coming in November last year. Torres has hardly featured since the turn of the year, but remains firm that he can turn the situation around.

With Dembele currently injured, Torres could his chance in the coming games and he is determined to prove himself at Barcelona and reclaim prominence in Xavi’s plans.

The manager, for his part, continues to believe in the 22-year-old and hopes to help him regain his confidence back ahead of the business end of the season.

But with Barcelona needing to make a big sale in the summer, Torres is aware that he could be playing for his future between now and the end of the season.

While things might not have gone according to plans for him this season, the Spaniard continues to be held in high regard in the Premier League, following his stint with Man City. So, in case Barcelona consider a sale in the summer, there should be no shortage of suitors.
