It has been the soap opera of the entire summer transfer window and it still hasn't ended. Aston Villa plans to make another move for Ferran Torres, presenting an improved offer to try to convince both FC Barcelona and the Valencian forward. This is Unai Emery's priority until the end of the 'mercatto' and he trusts he can reach an agreement for Hansi Flick's favorite.
Improved offer
From England, it has been reported that Aston Villa is willing to increase its offer to sign Ferran Torres. In total, the offer could reach €50 million, exceeding his current market value by €10 million. He has a contract until 2027 and a release clause of €1 billion, so only Barça will be able to decide if he leaves or stays longer.
The "7" has quickly earned Flick's trust, being an almost vital player for the German. He considers him one of his extensions on the field, being his ideal center forward. He has converted him to the number 9 position, delivering great results: 19 goals and 7 assists in 45 matches last season, most of them coming off the bench.
There are doubts at Barça, believing that selling him right now could be good business. However, it would mean a tough loss for the attacking front, with Hansi Flick holding him in high regard.
Decision made with Ferran Torres
Ferran Torres will continue wearing the FC Barcelona jersey. Despite recent offers, especially Aston Villa's from the Premier League, the blaugrana club has decided not to listen to proposals for the Valencian striker. An approach from Saudi Arabia was also rejected, as they tried to take advantage of the situation to tempt the player with a multi-million euro offer. However, the sporting management and Hansi Flick are clear that Ferran is a strategic asset.
The German coach fully trusts Ferran Torres. He sees him as a versatile, hard-working, and committed professional, capable of performing both on the wing and up front. His intensity, high pressing, and ability to score at key moments fit perfectly with the style the new Barça coach wants to implement.
At Barça, they value not only his performance but also his attitude. For this reason, the idea is to bet on his continuity and work on a contract renewal, which currently expires in 2027. The club's trust in Ferran is absolute, and they expect him to take a step forward this season with Flick in charge.
