Ferran Seizing His Opportunity
Ferran Torres has made the most of his chance at Barcelona this season. With Robert Lewandowski sidelined by injury, the Spanish international has stepped into the central striker role and delivered. Four La Liga matches, four starts, and strong output: goals against Mallorca and Levante, plus an assist in the recent win over Valencia.
Confidence Growing With Flick’s Backing
The 25-year-old has found renewed confidence under head coach Hansi Flick, who has shown trust in him as a starter. According to SPORT, Torres feels “very important” in the squad again and would be delighted to extend his stay at Camp Nou.
Torres is currently contracted until 2027, but those close to him suggest he would welcome an extension without hesitation if offered. No negotiations have begun yet, but talks are expected later this season if his form continues.
Club’s Long-Term Planning
Both Flick and sporting director Deco reportedly hold Torres in high regard. With Lewandowski turning 37 and entering the final year of his deal in 2026, Barcelona’s management could look to position Torres as the main striker for next season. That makes the current campaign crucial for the former Manchester City forward to prove his long-term value.
Champions League Test Ahead
Next up for Torres and Barça is a Champions League clash with Newcastle United on Thursday. The matchup carries personal significance—while at Manchester City, Torres scored four goals in two games against Newcastle, including a memorable hat-trick.
If his early-season form is any indication, Ferran looks determined to continue his rise and stake his claim as a central figure in Barcelona’s future.
