Barcelona is looking to make the most of Ferran Torres’ recent surge in form by securing a significant transfer fee for the Spanish forward.
Initially, the club was willing to let him go for around €25 million, but due to his improved performances, they have now raised the asking price to at least €35 million.
Torres has demonstrated his worth under new head coach Hansi Flick, taking full advantage of the limited chances he received and significantly boosting his market value.
Despite being a backup option behind star attackers like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal, Ferran has embraced his role and delivered consistently.
His contributions include 16 goals and three assists across all competitions, with an impressive scoring ratio of a goal every 87 minutes. His form has made him a fan favorite at Camp Nou, yet Barcelona remains open to offers as they aim to recover part of the €55 million they paid for him in January 2022, during Xavi Hernandez’s tenure.
Borussia Dortmund has shown strong interest in acquiring Torres, having previously tracked him during his time at Valencia. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, Dortmund is keen to reinforce its attacking options and views the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash with Barcelona as a prime opportunity to initiate discussions. The German club is also reportedly interested in structuring a swap deal involving their 23-year-old winger Karim Adeyemi.
Karim Adeyemi, known for his pace, dribbling ability, and experience at a young age, has emerged as a player of interest for Barcelona. Despite Borussia Dortmund’s inconsistent form, Adeyemi has managed to register eight goals and five assists, showcasing his potential as a top-tier forward. His attributes make him an ideal target to strengthen Barcelona’s frontline.
In light of this, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco and club president Joan Laporta are seriously considering a player-for-player exchange between Torres and Adeyemi, with no additional financial compensation involved.
Such a deal could benefit both clubs, as Barcelona would gain a younger and versatile attacker, while Dortmund would acquire an in-form and experienced player in Ferran Torres. The outcome of the negotiations, potentially sparked by their Champions League encounter, could be pivotal for both teams’ summer transfer strategies.
