FC Barcelona's sporting management continues to shape its long-term project, and one of the most desired contract renewals is now official. The club has secured one of its first team's most promising strikers and has ensured his continuity until 2029. This is a major decision that has received full support from some of the locker room's heavyweights, including one of the team's most important talents: Pedri González.
The Canary Islands midfielder has given his approval to this renewal. Not only that, according to internal sources, he sees this footballer as a better option than Ademola Lookman. The Atalanta di Bergamo winger had been linked in recent months with a possible move to Barça, and the Canary Islander is delighted with the sporting management's decision. The decision is to bet on continuity instead of making a major investment in a foreign profile.
The protagonist of this important operation is none other than Ferran Torres, the Valencian forward has renewed his contract with FC Barcelona until June 30, 2029. This news has been enthusiastically received in the locker room, especially by Pedri, who considers Ferran one of his great partners both on and off the field. The strong rapport between the two players has been key in this decision, and the club trusts their connection will be decisive for the team's offensive future.
His most brilliant season
Ferran has experienced a season that started slow but improved, and he has shown commitment, sacrifice, and a notable improvement in his performance. His adaptability and versatility in the attacking front have made him a useful player for any coach. In recent months, he has gained importance in the rotations and has replied with crucial goals in key matches.
Barça especially values his attitude and positive mindset in the most delicate moments. Despite criticism and pressure, Ferran has worked quietly and has managed to reinvent himself. His new contract, which extends until 2029, includes a high release clause and shows the full trust the blaugrana entity has placed in him.
Xavi wanted to sign him
Ademola Lookman's name gained traction in the club's offices after his display in the Europa League final. However, Xavi first and Hansi Flick later made it clear that, if Ferran kept his level, it wasn't necessary to look for a similar profile elsewhere. Furthermore, the commitment to national players and those familiar with the club remains a priority in this new project.
Pedri has been one of Ferran's strongest supporters in the locker room. He values him not only as an attacking partner but also as a person. Their great relationship off the field has strengthened their connection on the field, and the Canary Islander celebrates that they'll be able to keep sharing the locker room for at least four more seasons.
Barça will keep one of its assets, avoid spending a large sum on a new signing, and take another step toward consolidating a young and committed core. Ferran Torres, with Pedri's full support, is already thinking about repaying the trust with performance. The story between the Valencian and Barça, far from ending, has just been renewed.
