Ferran Torres Quashes Exit Rumors, Commits to Barcelona Fight for His Spot
Amidst reports circulating in various Spanish sources about Ferran Torres considering a departure from Barcelona in the upcoming month, the player has personally addressed the speculation. Torres has engaged in a conversation with coach Xavi, expressing his desire to remain at the club and compete for his place on the team. In a reassuring response, Xavi has affirmed to Torres that he will continue to be presented with opportunities, as reported by Diario Sport.
Barcelona’s attacking lineup is poised to expand in January with the arrival of Vitor Roque from Atletico Paranaense. This influx adds to the competition, particularly with six attackers now part of the squad.
Ferran Torres has often found himself playing second fiddle to Joao Felix in Barca’s attack, with Xavi frequently utilizing him as a substitute. Despite this, the 23-year-old has showcased commendable performances in the 19 games Xavi has entrusted him with this season, tallying five goals and two assists. Torres remains determined to contribute to Barcelona’s success, dismissing any notions of an imminent departure.
