Aiming to offload fringe players, Ferran Torres is one of the exit operations FC Barcelona continue to prioritize. Fluctuations in form have led to Ferran constantly trying to find regularity with the Blaugranas, but having spent one and half seasons at the club now, he appears to be a disposable asset.
Barcelona, hoping to solve a great deal of their financial situation by getting rid of players they deem as unwanted by the coaching staff, have listed a number of players on the market. However, this is not the first time individuals who were shown the exit door managed to turn over a new leaf.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Ferran is aware of the club’s desire to unship him this summer, but the player is keen to stay put. Taking inspiration from Frenkie, who turned his situation around the following season with a complete 180 in the coaching staff’s perception of him, Ferran aspires to prove himself at Barcelona too.
Players in the past have faced similar situations, but oftentimes their persistence to fight for a spot bore fruit. Ferran yearns to do the same. Ousmane Dembélé managed to convert Camp Nou’s jeers into cheers, while Frenkie proved his worth after being forced on the market.
The former Manchester City man understands he has not lived up to expectations since he arrived in Catalonia. Nevertheless, that has not overshadowed his commitment as he looks to start the pre-season afresh. His physical levels have been incredible, following rigorous workouts with his personal trainer in the summer.
Eager to leave an impression on Xavi who has already spoken highly of the player but may be necessitated to bid him farewell due to strained finances, Ferran looks determined to get the coach on his side. He recently shared, “Last year I couldn’t show the player I am, but this year I’m going to go to ‘full’ to earn my place”.
