Ferran Torres s future is doubtful Barcelona postpones negotiations on new contracts

Amazing news from La Liga giant Barcelona. The future of Ferran Torres, one of their frontcourt players, is now full of uncertainty.

The Catalonia club has reportedly decided to postpone negotiations for renewal with the player. This decision was announced in quite contradictory circumstances.

However, Torres just had his most brilliant season with the Red and Blues. He is even one of the important figures behind the team's treble in the 2024/2025 season.

This delay is believed to be due to other priorities in the transfer market. This also puts the Spanish player's long-term future in question again.

Delayed contract negotiations

Barcelona Club officially announced that it would postpone the agenda for renewal negotiations with Ferran Torres. Previously, they planned to extend the player's contract for another two years.

According to media reports, the club has notified Torres and his agent of the decision. Current negotiations will be temporarily suspended.

The main reason for this postponement is that Barcelona wants to focus on other matters. They are said to have “other priorities in player recruitment and contract renewal”.

The irony of his best season

If Ferran Torres' contribution last season, it would be very ironic to postpone this decision. He just spent one season in the 2024/2025 season with very impressive statistics.

Torres performed well as his replacement when Robert Lewandows was unable to play with a genetic injury. He successfully scored 19 goals, the highest goal score in a single season in his career.

As No. 9 striker, along with Rafinia and Ramin Yamal, he became one of the keys to Barcelona's success. His contribution also helped Hansey Flick coach his team to win three championships.

Still in the shadow of Lewandowski

Despite his outstanding performance and proving his strength, Torres' position on the forward line is still unstable. He is still in the shadow of main scorer Robert Lewandowski.

This veteran striker from Poland is still the irreplaceable first choice in Hansi Flick's tactical system. This is undoubtedly a dilemma for Torres.

Lewandowski even had the opportunity to extend his contract to the 2026/2027 season. Under this situation, the future of Torres becoming the main striker becomes more difficult.

Stay calm in the face of interest from other clubs

Although contract negotiations with the club were delayed, Ferran Torres reportedly remained calm. He didn't find the current situation unsettling at all.

The player is said to have remained completely convinced that Barcelona is willing to keep him. He was sure the delay was only temporary.

However, this situation will also become an important reference for other clubs. One of them is Aston Villa, who is rumored to have a offer worth €50 million.
