Ferran Torres has completely turned his situation around in the last season. He went from being a virtually discarded player to becoming indispensable for Hansi Flick, appearing at key moments and fitting perfectly into his play style. This has also helped him increase his market value, with multiple teams showing interest. For a long time, Aston Villa seemed to be the priority, but the strongest offer has come from Saudi Arabia.
60 million for 3 years
A few days ago, Jijantes surprised everyone by revealing that Saudi Arabia are coming in very strong for the Valencian. In total, they've put a salary of €60 million tax-free (60 million euros) for three seasons on the table.
Not only that, because the Saudis were willing to pay "whatever Barça asks" once they received the final green light. We're talking about an unmatched proposal, not in terms of competition, but certainly in economic terms.
Ferran Torres has a contract until 2027 with Barcelona and a release clause that's completely out of the market. The striker's response didn't take long, as he was firm about it and left no room for doubt.
Ferran Torres responds
In this regard, SPORT has released that Ferran Torres has decided to continue next season at Barça. He has no doubts, and his only goal is to improve his numbers from last season. He wants to fight head-to-head with Lewandowski for a starting spot, believing he can achieve his goal of becoming Hansi Flick's number 9.
The only thing Ferran wants is to succeed wearing the FC Barcelona jersey, where he feels very comfortable. Last season, he recorded 19 goals and 7 assists, being a key footballer off the bench. He was the top scorer in the Copa del Rey (6 goals) and the MVP of the final against Real Madrid.
He has Hansi Flick's full trust and considers Barça the best place to earn a spot for the World Cup. He's an important figure for Luis de la Fuente, and now he hopes to take the next step by earning a starting spot with Spain.
Ferran Torres's response is clear. Although he's grateful for the enormous interest shown by Saudi Arabia, right now he's not thinking about leaving. His goal is to succeed wearing the Barça jersey, and he's not motivated by money.
