Ferran Torres will want to have a leading role at Barcelona, but a possible incorporation of Nico could radically change the plans for the '7' blaugrana
The competition in the attack of FC Barcelona will not go unnoticed during the 2025/26 season. Thus, Ferran Torres, one of the most outstanding players during the season, could see his opportunities in danger.
In principle, it is expected that the 'shark' will be the revulsive in the center of the attack, taking into account the age (36 years) of Robert Lewandowski. But as in football nothing is written, the possible arrival of Nico Williams could change the plans for Ferran.
In this sense, the player who in the season managed to score 19 goals and give 7 assists in 1,921 minutes played in 45 games, knows that his minutes would be compromised, since, according to the latest rumors, when 'Lewy' is not there, the coach Hansi Flick would be thinking of using Dani Olmo or Raphinha as a false '9'.
As for playing on the left wing (where he played several times), he would have it very difficult if Nico arrives, since it is expected that between the Pamplona native and 'Rapha' they will fight for that place on the wing.
Given this scenario, would Ferran think about changing teams?
Given the prospect of his diminished prominence, which in itself isn't much, the player could receive offers from various European teams, although he would like to fight for a place at Barcelona. In recent months, Premier League and Serie A teams have shown interest in the striker's situation.
From England, according to rumors, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Arsenal sounded out the player, while from Italy AC Milan and Napoli also did the same.
In this order of ideas, the name of the team that apparently has had the most strength when it comes to being interested in Ferran Torres was Aston Villa; it has even been speculated that the 'villains' could present themselves with an offer in the Ciudad Condal to take the 27-year-old striker.
It is said that the Aston coach, Unai Emery, and the sports director, Monchi, are very interested in the 'shark'. Similarly, rumors point to 'the lions' could offer 50 million euros to take the player who ends his contract with Barça in 2027.
A more than attractive operation for Barça
According to Transfermarkt, Ferran Torres has a value of 40 M€. Now, in case Aston Villa launches for the '7' of the azulgranas and ends up offering the 50 'kilos', the Catalan team would close a round operation, since its termination clause is located at 1,000 million, an amount that surely no club will pay.
In this way, Barcelona, which is aware that it must continue to enter money into its coffers to face future incorporations, should sit down to negotiate. However, the summer market will be long and different teams to those already mentioned could want Ferran and the proposals would vary. Will there be an offer for the 'shark'? At the end of the market it will be known.
