Ferran Torres is having a great season, where whenever he comes off the bench, he performs at an outstanding level and provides solutions in attack. However, when he starts, his impact on the field is reduced, and he doesn't manage to make a difference. Flick, FC Barcelona's coach, is analyzing options to get the most out of Ferran Torres's situation.
The Premier League remains interested in signing him, as he left a great impression in England after his time at Manchester City. But Flick has a better alternative. A move that could strengthen Barcelona and, at the same time, satisfy all parties.
Contact with Marcelino for an Unexpected Swap
Flick would be delighted to contact Marcelino García Toral. The goal is to close a deal that benefits both. In this case, the German coach has put a clear proposal on the table: include Ferran Torres in a swap with Villarreal.
A Signing That Fits Barcelona's Philosophy
We are talking about a Spaniard who stands out for his creativity, ability to associate, and vision of the game, key qualities for Barça's style. Additionally, he has qualities that Barcelona urgently needs to complement its attacking pieces.
The main objective of this operation is Álex Baena. The Villarreal midfielder is one of the biggest gems of LaLiga. Flick believes that Baena could become an essential piece in the medium and long-term project.
Baena has demonstrated his quality with great performances in the Yellow Submarine and has enormous growth potential.
Álex Baena Has Already Confessed His Love for Barça
One of the most interesting aspects is that Baena himself has acknowledged his sympathy for Barcelona on several occasions. Alex Baena himself has made it clear that he has followed Barça since he was young and has always admired their play style. This could facilitate the agreement, as the player would be delighted to make the leap to Camp Nou.
Laporta, Determined to Close the Deal as Soon as Possible
Negotiations are still in an initial phase, but Barcelona sees this option very favorably. If Villarreal accepts the deal, Ferran Torres would change scenery, and Baena would wear Barça's jersey next season.
The summer market will be key to defining the future of both players and the possible agreement between the two clubs.
