Newcastle United target not keen on leaving Barcelona, will ask Xavi for a chance

Ferran Torres is one of many Barcelona attackers who are in danger of being offloaded at the end of the season.

Since joining from Manchester City, the forward has failed to offer productivity in front of goal. His lack of incision in the final third has led Barça to reconsider his future and there is a possibility he could be offloaded, as part of the club’s plans to bring in fresh revenue.

Torres has had no shortage of suitors either. Newcastle United are among the clubs interested in the services of the former Valencia starlet this summer.

However, according to a report from Diario SPORT, Ferran Torres has no desire to leave Barcelona just yet. He will sit with Xavi to discuss his future in the coming days and will ask the Barcelona coach for a chance to fight for his place in the team next season.

The Spanish international is aware of the fact that his performances at Camp Nou have not been up to the mark. But he is willing to work ever harder and make a name for himself at the club in the years to come.

Ferran is particularly looking to use the pre-season training campaign to get himself used to Xavi’s setup and produce good performances.

Barcelona, for their part, are open to all possibilities. They will hold a meeting with the player, discussing in length the potential outlook this summer. They are expected to reach an agreement that satisfies both parties.

But from hindsight, a move away from Camp Nou appears to be the likely destination for Ferran Torres, especially with the club desperately in need of a financial injection. Newcastle, to that end, are prepared to snap up the opportunity to sign the former Man City starlet and further reinforce their ranks in the attacking department.
