Barcelona is looking to take advantage of Ferran Torres’ outstanding recent form to earn a significant financial return. While they were previously open to selling him for around €25 million, his improved performances have pushed that figure up to at least €35 million to even start discussions. Torres’ market value has soared due to his effective utilization of chances under Hansi Flick’s management.
Despite playing a secondary role, Torres has thrived as a high-impact substitute, scoring consistently and adding real value to the team. With stars like Lewandowski, Yamal, and Raphinha ahead of him in the pecking order, Torres accepted his supporting role and still managed to rack up 16 goals and three assists across all competitions.
Impressively, he’s averaging a goal every 87 minutes, and his efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by the Camp Nou faithful. Still, this form doesn’t secure his future at the club, as President Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco are actively listening to offers in hopes of recouping the €55 million investment made when Xavi Hernandez brought him in back in January 2022. Among the interested clubs is Borussia Dortmund.
According to El Nacional, the German side, seeking attacking reinforcements, has renewed its interest in Torres—an interest that dates back to his Valencia days before his Manchester City transfer. Dortmund is expected to use their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash with Barcelona as an opening to discuss a potential deal. Meanwhile, Hansi Flick is also eyeing Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as part of the negotiations.
The 23-year-old Adeyemi, known for his pace, technical skill, and mature performances at the top level, is being considered as an ideal attacking addition by Barcelona. Despite Dortmund’s struggles, Adeyemi has managed to deliver eight goals and five assists. With Dortmund planning to sell him this summer, Barcelona sees an opportunity.
Laporta and Deco are reportedly keen on finalizing a direct player swap between Adeyemi and Ferran Torres, with no monetary exchange involved.
