Not Newcastle, not PSG: Ferran Torres has confessed, he's leaving Barça, he has a new team

Barça's moves may affect the future of one of the blue-and-claret club's players in the summer

FC Barcelona's sports planning for the 2025/26 season keeps moving forward steadily. The sports management is working on strengthening the attack with young, direct, and game-changing talent. In this context, two names have gained tremendous momentum in recent weeks: Nico Williams and Roony Bardghji.

Both wingers represent profiles that fit perfectly with Hansi Flick's playing philosophy, and the blaugrana coach has given the green light to their signings. In Nico's case, his transfer is getting closer. His release clause, which is €62 million ($62 million), is considered manageable by the club, which has the player's desire to join Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Roony Bardghji is an interesting medium-term bet; the young Swede, who has dazzled at Danish side Copenhagen, has been on Barça's radar for some time. His arrival could be finalized as a move for the future, but it is not ruled out that he could join the first team sooner rather than later. His explosiveness, dribbling, and versatility have convinced Deco and the technical area leaders.

A signing that hits Ferran

This situation is starting to create unease in the locker room, and one of the main affected is Ferran Torres. The striker, who came up through Valencia, is aware of the club's moves. He knows that the arrival of new wingers further reduces his chances of being important. At 25 years old, Ferran desiredto establish himself this season, but the competition keeps increasing.

During last season, his performance was inconsistent. He started strong but ended up losing prominence. Although Flick considers him a useful player, he is not one of his priorities in attack. The German coach prefers more direct wingers, with natural ability to beat defenders and the capacity to make a difference in one-on-one situations.

Collateral damage

Ferran can adapt to several positions, but that versatility doesn't guarantee him minutes. Nico's arrival would push him even further down the rotation. If Bardghji also ends up joining the team, his situation would become extremely complicated. That's why those close to the footballer are now seriously considering a change of scenery.

Barça is not closing the door to his departure; in fact, they would welcome a transfer if a reasonable offer arrives. His market value is around €35 million ($35 million), although the club hopes to get at least €40 million ($40 million) to recoup part of the investment made for him in 2022. There are Premier League and Serie A teams that have already shown interest.

For now, Ferran remains silent. He is focused on preseason, but he wants guarantees. He doesn't want to spend another year in a secondary role. If the scenario doesn't change, he could ask to leave before the transfer window closes. The arrival of new signings is speeding up internal decisions. Ferran Torres is one of the first who could be pushed to take a different path at FC Barcelona; his continuity is no longer guaranteed at all.
