Ferran Torres is currently experiencing his best run of form since joining Barcelona. Often criticized for inconsistency, the Spanish forward has silenced his detractors with decisive performances and crucial goals.
His impact was evident during Barcelona’s 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, where he scored twice, proving instrumental in securing the win for Hansi Flick’s team.
Torres’ resurgence has seen him score four goals in his last three games, solidifying his position as a valuable alternative to Barcelona’s attacking stars Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha.
His versatility allows him to adapt to different attacking roles, making him an asset to Flick, who appreciates players capable of contributing both as starters and substitutes.
Meanwhile, Torres’ form has indirectly affected Ansu Fati’s standing at the club. Fati, currently sidelined by injury, was already struggling for game time before his absence. With Torres now excelling, Fati’s future at Barcelona looks increasingly uncertain.
According to Spanish outlet “El Nacional,” Barcelona is open to selling Fati during the upcoming winter transfer window, especially as the club seeks to reduce its wage bill and increase revenue.
Multiple clubs have reportedly expressed interest in signing Fati, who still commands respect in the European football scene. However, Barcelona appears ready to part ways with the young talent if the right offer comes along.
From Hansi Flick’s perspective, the decision seems straightforward. The German coach has prioritized players who deliver consistent performances, a category Torres now firmly belongs to. In contrast, Fati failed to capitalize on previous opportunities, leaving him on the fringes of the squad.
While Barcelona has yet to make any official announcements, club insiders believe Fati’s departure is inevitable unless he stages a dramatic turnaround. The expectation is that he will leave in January, marking an underwhelming exit from the club.
In the meantime, Torres continues to cement his status as a key figure in Barcelona’s attack, reinforcing his importance with every game.
