Ferran Torres seems to be approaching the end of his time at Barcelona as Joan Laporta plans an unexpected strategy to enhance the team’s offense for next season.
The Spanish forward has struggled this season, making him a leading candidate for departure, either to raise funds or to ease the acquisition of a crucial future player.
According to El Nacional, Laporta has set his sights on Victor Gyuqueres, the Swedish striker currently at Sporting Lisbon, known for his physicality and goal-scoring ability. Gyuqueres has a valuation of 100 million euros, a significant figure given Barcelona’s financial limitations.
Torres plays a key role in this potential transaction. Barcelona aims to lower the transfer fee while offloading a player who hasn’t adapted to Hansi Flick’s system.
Including Torres in a swap deal with Sporting Lisbon could strategically reduce the cost of acquiring Gyuqueres, seen as the necessary striker for Barcelona.
For Torres, a move to Sporting Lisbon could provide a chance to rejuvenate his career in a less intense setting while still participating in European competitions. The Portuguese league has traditionally been a platform for players to showcase their talents before moving to larger clubs.
Although this plan is still being evaluated, it’s clear that Laporta is determined to make it happen. If successful, Torres could play a crucial role in bringing Gyuqueres to Barcelona, potentially ushering in a new phase for the club’s attacking lineup.
