Flick's Barça bases one of its strengths on the forward line. The German has managed to form a lethal attack with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski, and this has been evident this year. The trio has been one of the keys to Barça's strong performance this season and has brought back excitement to the culé fans after years of great inconsistency.
Raphinha and Lewandowski have been especially inspired. The Brazilian has been a constant source of imbalance on the wing, regularly adding goals and assists, while the Pole has once again shown his killer instinct inside the box. In addition, Lamine Yamal has established himself as the team's great star, at just 17 years old.
Barça seeks more game-changing quality and rotation
Despite the trio's great performance, the sporting management is already working on signing another forward for this summer. The goal is to bring in an striker who can also play on the wing and allow for rotation without lowering the level. Hansi Flick knows the season is long, with many demanding matches, and he needs more depth on the bench.
The new signing wouldn't arrive to be an undisputed starter, but to compete with them and to raise the level of the bench. There are already several names on the table in the market, and the club is working discreetly to close a deal.
The player who would be transferable
However, the arrival of a forward could mean a sacrifice in the squad, and according to "El Nacional", Ferran would be the one chosen to leave. The club's intention would be to cash in on his transfer, considering that his departure could generate significant income and free up salary space.
Ferran has a market, especially in the Premier League, where he left a good impression during his time at Manchester City. Although he hasn't been an undisputed starter, his performance every time he has had minutes has been unbelievable.
The locker room doesn't understand it
The curious thing is that this possible decision has caused surprise, even disbelief, inside the locker room. Ferran Torres is having an excellent season, being one of the team's most productive players despite having few minutes. He has accumulated 18 goals and 4 assists, an impressive figure considering his role.
His teammates greatly value his commitment, his effort in every training session, and his impact in important matches. The fact that his departure is being considered, when he is being so decisive in key moments, has made more than one in the group "freak out." We'll see if the club finally dares to part with a footballer who has proved to be decisive when they needed him most.
