Ferran Torres has once again become the player everyone desired. After years of ups and downs, doubts, and criticism, the Valencian winger has delivered the best season of his career. Goals, assists, and leadership have brought him back to the elite of European soccer.
In the 2024/25 season, he was decisive at key moments, especially in La Liga and the Champions League. With Flick in charge, he earned the respect of the locker room and the affection of the fans. No one questioned him: Ferran became the team's third top scorer, only behind Lewandowski and Lamine.
Offers, promises, and calls: Europe surrenders to the reborn Ferran
His performance hasn't gone unnoticed. In England, Newcastle United has already inquired about his contract situation. In Italy, AC Milan and Juventus have had weekly reports on his performance since January.
Even Borussia Dortmund, which is seeking a rebuild after the departure of several starters, has shown interest in him. Ferran has regained his market value and also his self-esteem, which is key to his resurgence. The footballer has once again felt important, and the entire continent has noticed it.
In the Premier League, they have closely monitored him since his time at Manchester City. In Italy, they consider him ideal for a vertical and aggressive play style like Serie A's. In Germany, they highlight his tactical maturity and the effectiveness he has regained in the final third.
Neither Deco nor sales: Ferran has already made a decision
Despite the interest from several giants, the player's entourage has sent a clear message: he is happy in Barcelona. Ferran has been one of the big winners with the coaching change, and that has weighed on his thinking. Flick's support, the club's trust, and the affection of the culés have been decisive.
FC Barcelona values his commitment very positively during the most challenging season at the institutional level. Not a single complaint, not a single outburst, not a single bad gesture toward the fans. Ferran has been professional on and off the field, which has convinced even the harshest critics.
That's why Deco and Joan Laporta don't consider him transferable unless an absolutely irresistible offer arrives. He has a contract until 2027 and a manageable salary that fits with the club's new policies. His market value right now is around €45 million, but Barça isn't considering selling him.
Barça smiles: the "7" will still be theirs
Despite the siren calls from outside, everything indicates that Ferran Torres will stay for another season. Flick considers him a strategic piece for his offensive system and wants to build a solid block around figures like him. Meanwhile, the player himself has no intention of changing scenery this summer.
Internal reports highlight his physical progression, his defensive improvement, and the consistency he has achieved with more minutes. In addition, his versatility (he can play on both wings and as a center forward) makes him a valuable asset. With the European Championship just around the corner, he knows that staying at Barça is key to going with Spain.
So, despite the noise and the offers, Ferran is clear about his decision. He will stay at home, in his project, with the team that believed in him when many had written him off. At Barça, they're clear about it too: he's not for sale.
Ferran Torres's next team has already been decided... and it's the same as always: FC Barcelona.
