Recently, Newcastle United, an English football club, reportedly made a bid to transfer Ferran Torres from Barcelona, but this proposal has been turned down by the Catalan club.
Spanish sources indicate that Barcelona is seeking to offload some players to generate funds for their own transfer plans. In this context, Newcastle’s offer for Ferran Torres was approximately 15 million euros, or 12.8 million pounds. Torres joined Barcelona in January 2022 for a fee of up to 55 million euros. The Spaniard has struggled with form and injuries at Camp Nou, prompting Barcelona to consider selling him to recoup some of their investment.
Newcastle, now one of the wealthiest clubs globally due to its acquisition by Saudi investors, is actively searching for high-quality signings to enhance their squad. Ferran Torres is a prominent target for them this summer.
Nevertheless, Barcelona is reportedly seeking between 20-25 million euros for Torres, which means Newcastle’s offer of 15 million euros does not meet their expectations. This discrepancy indicates that the clubs have yet to reach an agreement on the transfer fee.
Torres is currently contracted with Barcelona until 2027. Given Barcelona’s need to improve their financial standing and team for the upcoming season, Torres’ departure from Camp Nou seems increasingly likely.
Should the deal go through, Newcastle would secure a young talent with significant potential and experience from one of Europe’s elite clubs. Torres could play a key role in Newcastle’s long-term plans.
However, the current disagreement on the transfer fee highlights that there are still hurdles to overcome. Both clubs will need to continue discussions to finalize the deal in the near future.
