The ongoing dilemma with Dani Olmo, who has been unable to register in time and will be absent for the remainder of the season while we await additional developments on this topic, has obviously benefited a number of Barcelona players.
Nevertheless, Ferran Torres is one of the football players who is totally out of commission despite the ’20’ complications. He is still completely out of favor with Hans-Dieter Flick, who has no intention of granting him minutes, and his circumstances have not improved at all. Flick would rather rely on other players who can bring more to the team or even welcome new players.
‘The Shark’ is in a very apparent scenario at this point. Even as early as January, Joan Laporta and Deco are prepared to move him if they receive a compelling offer that exceeds €30 million. They also plan to expedite his departure. He has a contract that expires in 2026, and Camp Nou has neither offered him an extension nor expressed any desire to do so. The club will only have one more chance to profit from his departure this year.
The former Valencia and Manchester City player has declared that he wants to play as much as possible at Barcelona, but it looks like his time there is running out. Staying there would be his top goal. His stay has been a complete disaster, and he has never lived up to the expectations that were placed on him when he was signed, particularly when Xavi Hernández personally asked for him to join, which resulted in the Premier League paying a hefty sum to acquire him.
Due to injuries to some players or Flick’s rotation tactics, he has had opportunities during the season, but it cannot be stated that he has taken advantage of them to regain his position in the squad.
Even with the Olmo scenario, Ferran has not been able to win Flick’s pardon, and if he remains at Barcelona until June, his position will be completely inconsequential. Some young players with a lot of promise, like Dani Rodríguez or Toni Fernández, who made their debut against Barbastro, may supersede him in the rotation.
