Arsenal Newsnow: If Ferran Torres’s condition as an attacker under Xavi Hernandez does not improve over the course of the next season, Barcelona may be willing to move Torres this summer
Arsenal Newsnow: If Barcelona receives a fair offer for winger Ferran Torres this summer, the club may contemplate selling him, as reported by Fichajes. The former Manchester City forward has been marginalized by Xavi Hernandez. A potential sale looms if nothing changes. Arsenal has shown interest in the player. Xavi Hernandez asked Barcelona president Joan Laporta to sign winger Ferran Torres in January, hoping to spark a new era of success for the Catalan club. After a promising debut at Camp Nou, the attacker eventually became a footnote in the club’s history.
The Barcelona winger has spent most of this season on the bench rather than starting. Xavi would have liked to have gone with summer signing Raphinha and winger Ousmane Dembele instead. Gavi has been positioned there in recent games.
Given his current position, Ferran Torres may want to weigh his alternatives. There were rumours that Arsenal was interested in the Barcelona winger and even conducted conversations to see if a transfer might happen in January.
Arsenal Newsnow: What’s the matter?
Xavi wanted to keep his present roster together for the rest of the season. The Catalans didn’t anticipate any transfer action this month. Although Arsenal has shown interest in a winger, the club has no current intentions to move Fernando Torres. For a long time now, Barcelona’s economy has been in a state of crisis. If they want to keep improving, they may need to make some big trades. The Catalan team likely hopes to recuperate the majority of the €55 million they spent on Torres in the event of a sale.

If Arsenal fails to sign other players of interest, they may pursue Barcelona’s winger. The Spanish international is held in high esteem by Mikel Arteta. Furthermore, the idea that the Catalan giants are contemplating a sale is good news for the Gunners. Unfortunately, relocation can’t happen this month; the earliest that it may take place is this summer.
Will Barcelona sell Ferran Torres?
Potential suitors should try to negotiate a price that is lower than what the Catalan giants may want for the winger. Barcelona, though, will attempt to acquire a fair price and recuperate finances that will allow them to pursue other, more essential players to enhance their team.
Thomas Partey, a midfielder for Arsenal, was injured in Friday’s game against Manchester City. He will have an MRI this weekend to see how bad his rib fracture is. The Gunners lost 1-0 against Pep Guardiola’s team due to a second-half goal from Nathan Ake. The outcome was made worse for the London club when Partey went off with an injury before the break.
After suffering a rib injury in the first half, the 29-year-old Ghanaian midfielder was replaced by Albert Sambi Lokonga. Arteta confirmed that the player will have an MRI in the following days.
