Barcelona prepared to offload forward for €25 million this summer

Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the game when Barcelona secured a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid. The attacker promptly received praise from teammate Pedri, who was elated with his goal.

However, despite his goal, Ferran Torres does not appear to have any future at Barça. Ever since his arrival in Catalonia, he has been a much-discussed player, primarily due to the hefty €55 million Barcelona spent on his services.

It is fair to point out that Torres has been unable to live up to his price tag. With just four goals in La Liga this season, the productivity he was supposed to offer has been lacking. As a result, Barcelona are open to the idea of offloading him in the coming summer.

According to Javi Miguel, the Catalans are open to selling Ferran Torres if they receive an offer of around €25 million. The club acknowledge the fact that they cannot recoup the €55 million they spent on the player and are prepared to settle for a loss.

Asking for more than €25 million would be too unrealistic, Barcelona concede. However, the attacker’s price may increase if he continues to score goals in crucial matches like he did against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

With eight games still left to be played, Ferran has an excellent chance of increasing his value heading into the summer transfer window.

The former Manchester City starlet has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid while Inter Milan, too, might be interested in the forward, as they look to sign some of Barça’s out-of-favour players at the end of the season.

The sale of Torres could help Barcelona raise some much-needed revenue, as they look to not only reduce the salary mass but also target new players in the summer transfer window.
