Spanish forward Ferran Torres has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving Barcelona, despite a reported approach from Newcastle United. The 23-year-old winger has been linked with a move to the Premier League club, but sources close to the player have confirmed that he is committed to staying at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona is open to listening to offers for Torres, who has three years remaining on his contract, but the player himself is not considering a move. Newcastle United had previously submitted an initial offer worth €15 million plus variables for Torres, but it was rejected by Barcelona, who are holding out for €30 million.
Torres has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Barcelona since joining the club from Manchester City in 2022. However, he has shown flashes of brilliance and is determined to prove himself at the Camp Nou.
The news will come as a blow to Newcastle United, who were hoping to add Torres to their squad as they look to build on their impressive performances last season. However, the club will now have to turn their attention to other targets as they look to strengthen their attack.
For Barcelona, the news is a boost as they look to keep hold of their talented young players. The club has already lost several key players in recent years and will be keen to keep Torres as they look to rebuild and challenge for major honors.
In a statement, Torres said: “I am committed to Barcelona and I have no intention of leaving. I want to prove myself here and help the team succeed.”
