Unai Emery wants another Spanish 'crack' for his Aston Villa. The next target of the manager is Ferran Torres, although the '7' does not plan to leave Barça

FC Barcelona could receive a big offer soon for Ferran Torres. The good performance of the 'Shark' in the second half of 2024/25, during Robert Lewandowski's absence due to injury, has increased the number of clubs interested in his transfer for the next summer market.

In England, the latest team to join the 'race' for the Valencian forward is Aston Villa. According to the portal 'Birmingham Live', the team led by Unai Emery is considering the possibility of offering 50 million euros net for the '7' azulgrana, whose market value currently reaches 28 'kilos'.

Barça is clear: Ferran Torres will only leave by his own decision

Ferran said goodbye to the season due to appendicitis last week with 19 goals and 7 assists in 49 games with Hansi Flick's team. After his best season, statistically, with Barça, the 25-year-old forward is established as the first alternative to Lewandowski and, for the moment, is clear about his desire to stay at the club despite the offers he may receive in the coming weeks.

Having a contract until 2027, the continuity of the 'Shark', for now, is not in doubt in Barcelona. The '7' was on the list of transferable players in the last two summer markets, but he always made clear his intention to stay and fight for a starting position in the azulgrana team. Therefore, the board had to look for other alternatives to raise funds.

This year, the scenario will not be different, even more so when the performance supports the player's position. Ferran scored 10 goals in La Liga, 3 in the Champions League and 6 in the Copa del Rey, being the team's top scorer in the tournament of His Majesty with decisive goals against Atlético and Real Madrid in the 'semis' and the final.

Aston Villa will make one last effort to convince the 'Shark'

Despite this, Aston Villa will make an effort to convince him with an offer difficult to refuse. The Birmingham team is still fighting to return to the Champions League in 25/26, a key factor to convince the 'Shark' and other figures to join their squad.

For the moment, the club has three Spaniards in its squad (Pau Torres, Andrés García and Marco Asensio, the latter on loan for six months). For next season, the 'villains' have already confirmed the departure of their goalkeeper, Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez, whose name has been linked with Barça in recent hours.
