Ferran Torres's season is being one of his best since he arrived at Barça in terms of importance. Despite not being a starter, the Valencian forward has proven to be the best substitute for Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski. With only 1,051 minutes played, he has achieved 11 goals and 3 assists, figures that reflect his great efficiency every time he steps on the field.
His ability to make the most of his minutes, his versatility to play in any attacking position and his goal-scoring instinct have made him a key piece in Flick's squad. However, despite his great performance, the club is still considering the possibility of strengthening the forward line next transfer market.
Barça Still Thinks Strengthening the Forward Line Is a Priority
Despite Ferran's contribution, Barça's sports management is still thinking about signing a top-level striker to increase competitiveness in the forward line. The dependence on Lewandowski in the area and on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal on the wings have led the club to explore options to incorporate a new forward.
The goal is to find a player who can compete with the three starters and who, in turn, guarantees high immediate performance. Hansi Flick wants to have more offensive alternatives to fight for all titles, and that has led Barça to consider using Ferran Torres as a bargaining chip.
Ferran Could Be a Bargaining Chip
According to 'El Nacional.cat', Barça has offered Ferran Torres to Juventus as part of a deal to strengthen the forward line. The 'Vecchia Signora' is looking for offensive players and Ferran's profile fits Italian football due to his speed, mobility and finishing ability.
Barça's intention with this move is to bring in a higher-level forward to compete with Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. The club believes that, despite Ferran's good season, it is possible to find an striker who further elevates the team's level and guarantees greater competitiveness.
The Juventus Player Who Interests Barça
The same information indicates that Barça has offered Ferran Torres to exchange him for Dušan Vlahovic, the Juventus forward. The Serbian is one of the great offensive references in Europe and his arrival in Barcelona would mean a quality leap in the blaugrana attack.
Vlahovic is a forward with an imposing physique, great finishing and a goal-scoring ability that would fit perfectly into Flick's scheme. If Juventus accepts the deal, Barça could strengthen their forward line without making a large financial investment, using Ferran as a trade piece.
