🚨| Ferran Torres will have a prominent role as a 9. This is the thinking of Flick, who has full trust in the player. If he maintains his level, he’ll play a lot and become more than just a backup to Lewandowski.

Ferran Torres Set for Key Role as No.9 Under Flick – More Than Just Lewandowski’s Backup

Ferran Torres is poised to take on a much more prominent role at Barcelona this season — not just as a wide forward, but as a central striker. New head coach Hansi Flick sees Torres as a key figure in his tactical plans and believes the Spanish international has what it takes to thrive as a No.9.

According to sources close to the team, Flick has full confidence in Torres’ ability to lead the line and make an impact through the middle. While Robert Lewandowski remains the primary striker, Torres isn’t seen merely as cover — if he continues performing at a high level, he will play significant minutes and could be a central piece in the German coach’s new-look attack.

Flick is reportedly impressed by Torres’ versatility, movement, and finishing — and views his flexibility as a major asset in a system that emphasizes fluid attacking rotations and pressing from the front.

The message from inside Barça is clear: If Ferran delivers, he’ll be trusted — and he’ll play.
