The 2025 season promises to be key for FC Barcelona's future. After months of speculation, Joan Laporta has made the decision to renew the blaugrana squad and, to do so, has devised a strategy involving high-level sales and signings.
The goal is clear: sell a key player and sign an emerging talent who is shining in Ligue 1. Barça's major operation bears the name of Eliesse Ben Seghir, a 19-year-old who has impressed everyone with his level of play at AS Monaco.
The sale of Ferran Torres as key to the operation
To be able to afford the signing of Ben Seghir, Barcelona must generate income through the sale of some of its players. One of the names most mentioned in the market is Ferran Torres.
The Valencian forward has not managed to establish himself in Hansi Flick's scheme, and his performance has been inconsistent. Selling Ferran Torres seems the best option to balance the finances and make room for new talents.
Although Ansu Fati is mentioned, the sale of Ferran Torres is more viable due to market interest. Several top-tier teams, including PSG, have shown interest in signing him. However, Barça will not settle for just any offer, as the priority is for the sale to be sufficient to finance the signing of the promising Ben Seghir.
Barça's new target: Eliesse Ben Seghir
Regarding the signing that is attracting all the attention, Barça's goal is clear: the young midfielder Eliesse Ben Seghir. Despite his young age, the AS Monaco player has proven to be one of the revelations of the season in Ligue 1. At 19 years old, Ben Seghir is an undisputed starter at Monaco, standing out for his maturity in the game.
What has attracted FC Barcelona is his combination of technical skills and ability to assert himself on the field. Ben Seghir stands out for his complete game, distributing the ball and making a difference with his vision and creativity. Despite his young age, he is already one of Monaco's leaders, showing his potential to be a future star.
The competition for Ben Seghir
The interest in Eliesse Ben Seghir doesn't only come from FC Barcelona. Teams like Bayern Munich and PSG have also set their sights on the young midfielder.
However, Barça is determined to close the deal. It is known that Monaco will not let their star go for less than 35 million euros. This figure is not an obstacle for Barcelona, which is willing to invest to ensure a bright future.
