Barcelona Star Refuse to Leave Club Despite Offers from the Premier League

Spanish journalist Gerard Romero claims that Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres doesn’t want to leave Camp Nou despite interest from the Premier League.

Torres’ future is the subject of speculation as he struggled for game time last season. The 23-year-old started 18 of 45 games across competitions, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.

The Spanish international has garnered interest from the Premier League but Romero claims the forward wants to stay with Barcelona.

He said (via Barca Buzz):

“Ferran Torres has received offers from the Premier League but as of now he does not want to leave.”

Torres has previously played in the English top tier with Manchester City. He spent two years with Pep Guardiola’s side from 2020 til 2022 having joined from La Liga side Valencia. However, he returned to his homeland in January 2022 when he joined Barca for €55 million.

The Spaniard looks unlikely to force his way into Xavi’s starting lineup next season. The Catalan giants’ boss preferred a front three of Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha throughout last season.

Torres has four years left on his contract with Barcelona and seemingly wants to stay. However, if he were to head back to the Premier League it could be to either Arsenal or Aston Villa. Reports back in April claimed that the two clubs were showing interest.
