FC Barcelona is preparing a particularly lively transfer window. The main projects of the Blaugrana club are already known to everyone, and will notably revolve around two big players, namely Alessandro Bastoni and Julian Alvarez. The decision-makers of the Spanish champion clearly intend to put their hands in their pockets to strengthen the team. But the club’s financial situation remains complex – especially with regard to La Liga’s financial fair play – and sales would clearly not do any harm to the club’s accounts.
For weeks already, there have been some serious candidates for a departure, in addition to Robert Lewandowski, whose departure will more than likely free up payroll. Just like Marcus Rashford should not be kept. Marc Casado could bring in a nice check, he who maintains a good rating in the transfer window, while Alejandro Baldé will also be sold in the event of an interesting offer. Possible departures which are unanimous in Catalonia, whether internally, or with the media and supporters.
A real debate in Catalonia
Ferran Torres could also bring in a small jackpot. Quite an important player in the eyes of Hansi Flick – to the point where he has often been preferred to Lewandowski for the number 9 position – the Spanish international is at the end of his contract in 2028. And as indicated A.S.no approach regarding an extension has been made by the club. The media even specifies that Deco, the sports director, would not necessarily be a fan of the player, recruited by his predecessor Mateu Alemany. A contrast with Hansi Flick and above all, the Barcelona locker room, who greatly appreciate the player trained in Valencia.
The Spanish newspaper also specifies that Torres could be used as a bargaining chip in the Julian Alvarez deal, since he is very popular with the Colchoneros, where Mateu Alemany now works. Within Catalan public opinion, his case is also quite divisive. Some believe that he is a very useful player in the squad, and he is a player who, on top of that, has never caused the slightest problem. Others, however, are a little fed up with his irregular performances and his misses in front of goal. To be continued…
