Maybe it’s time to sell Ferran Torres. The Barcelona striker has radically changed his image, and between the injuries to his teammates and good performances, he has become a very valuable footballer for the Barcelona team. Precisely for this reason, perhaps his poster has improved, and therefore also the offers that have reached the FC Barcelona for him during the last summer market.
However, at the moment, Xavi Hernandez needs him because the team lacks the funds for the striker, but in the medium term, the club has plans that could eventually see him left out, if an offer arrives that satisfies Joan Laporta. First, because Joao Felix is a magician on the sporting level, and although Atletico Madrid is asking for 80 million, the Catalan entity hopes to be able to reach an agreement with the Matalacer club to continue relying on him.
For now, Ferran’s presence cannot be denied, but within days, Rafinha will recover and Lamine Yamal, who will already face this Sunday, may return. Whatever the case may be, the club is awaiting the return of Ansu Fati from his move to Brighton in July, and this is where they will start thinking about some exits because, of all the names mentioned, the best performer to leave is Joao Felix.
Meanwhile, there are some reports that Barcelona have intensified their efforts in the potential signing of Neco Williams, a sensation from the Athletic Club who is performing better every time, but who still has a contract until the end of the season. End of the current season and has not been renewed. The Basque club is willing to spend its money to protect the player and ensure his continuity, but the girlfriends assigned to him are very strong and have a heart for Athletic fans.
Firstly, because one of them is Barcelona, a club expert in big signings for free, and in addition, Nico has his best friends in the Spanish national team, Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati and Alejandro Balde. Whatever the case, Barcelona have a major competitor in bidding for the player, which, in this case, would be knowing which club would offer the player a higher salary: Paris Saint-Germain.
If money had the final say, Neco Williams could ditch Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona and sign his new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but it is the player who will decide where he wants to continue his career. However, if one thing is clear, it is that if Athletic Club loses him at no cost, it will be a very sensitive loss for a team that, let’s remember, apart from the restrictions imposed on the origin of its players, has other members and Ernesto Valverde’s staff who are also at risk of fleeing.
