Barcelona willing to sell out-of-favour forward for just €20-25 million

With just one game left in Barcelona’s season, manager Xavi Hernandez and the club’s technical staff are already turning their focus to squad planning for the next campaign.

With the La Liga champions needing to balance their books to achieve Financial Fair Play, sales will be necessary in the coming weeks.

And, one of the players who looks locked in to leave Barcelona this summer is Ferran Torres. Indeed, according to Javi Miguel of AS, the Blaugrana will be ready to sell the Spanish international for a fee of only €20-25 million.

That would mean the club will be taking a huge loss on the 23-year-old considering that they paid €55 million for him back in January last year.

But, Torres’ time at Barcelona has not gone according to plans at all. Xavi had huge faith in the Spaniard who was one of his first signings as the manager of the Catalan outfit.

While the former Manchester City ace showed glimpses of potential in the second half of the last season, but left everyone frustrated due to his lacklustre finishing.

Things have gotten only worse for Torres this season as he has constantly been on the periphery of the team, hardly featuring as a starter.

Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, and Raphinha are clearly ahead of the former Valencia ace in the pecking order. And with the La Liga champions hoping to add Lionel Messi, Yannick Carrasco, and Vitor Roque this summer, his prospects would further diminish.

Hence, even though they would be taking a loss, Barcelona are ready to sell Torres for a fee of around €20-25 million.

Newcastle United are one of the clubs interested in the former Manchester City and the prospect of returning to England and playing for a Champions League club might convince Torres to leave Barcelona.
