There is no longer much doubt that the future of Ferran Torres is being written at PSG. According to the latest information from the Catalan press, the only scorer in the last World Cup final will leave FC Barcelona one year from the end of his contract. He agreed to join the European champion and settle his transfer as quickly as possible. In the best case scenario, he would like the case to be heard before August 12, the day he is expected at the Blaugranas training center for the resumption.
The attacker prefers to avoid this and we understand that. His recent statements about the Barcelona leaders who, according to him, “ have to show that they want me » and invites them to “ come and negotiate » went very badly. The club did not appreciate it, nor did the supporters, especially since Ferran Torres did not always perform as expected. According to them, the 26-year-old player is taking advantage of his new notoriety to send messages. On social networks, he is the target of criticism and it is now the media which follows suit.
“ The suicide of Ferran Torres »
“ The suicide of Ferran Torres ” title Sport in a vitriolic post. “ There are very sophisticated ways to complicate your life. And then there is Ferran Torres. You have decided to invent a new modality: communicative suicide », Begins the columnist furious with the American media tour of the Spanish hero. Torres is in fact invited to numerous TV shows and even invited by Major League Baseball to Yankee Stadium to become a pitcher before a match between the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals.
“ There really was no need for thatinsists Lluís Carrasco. It was enough to be silent. But no. When you believe that the best way to thank the club that changed your life is to provoke it and go on a media tour in the United States as if you were promoting Superestrella, Aitana’s latest album, it is because you have clearly taken the Spotify Camp Nou for Madison Square Garden, and Barça for Sony Music. » Thanks to a goal, Ferran Torres changed his notoriety, but he would not take advantage of it in the right way.
“ Barça does not give flowers. Barça gave you prestige »
“ You expect a show of affection from Barca. Pardon ? What greater declaration of love than to transform a good, tenacious and fiery player into a world reference? Barça does not give flowers. Barça gave you prestige. He gave you a showcase. » The relationship between Ferran Torres, the club and his environment is breaking down, although it had experienced a rebound in recent months after the player’s great performances (20 goals, 3 assists in 47 matches).
It is thanks to his talent, his ability to steal Robert Lewandowski’s place and the tactical work of Hansi Flick that he was able to be called up by Luis de la Fuente for the World Cup. “ The story works in reverse. It is you who should wake up every morning embracing the destiny and the privilege of putting on a jersey worn with honor and esteem by Messi, Cruyff or Maradona », continues Sport. With a few clumsy statements, Ferran Torres managed to alienate the entire Blaugrana community. It’s high time to leave.
