Ferran Torres (1.84 meters, 77 kgs.) Is comfortable in the Manchester City, a club in which he feels like an important player but in which he has very powerful competition. Among the footballers he competes with are established veterans such as Sterling, De Bruyne, Mahrez O Bernardo silvaas well as bright young men like Foden O Grealish that, in addition, they are English and, therefore, local idols.
On the other hand, at Barça Torres he would have the possibility of leading from now on. And although the situation of the Barça club is not buoyant at the sporting and economic level, that gives it more options to help from minute 1 to the image of the entity refloat. That provides Ferran with a very motivating challenge: to land in a big one in Europe in which, from the first game, he is given the responsibilities in attack that he feels ready to take on now.
As people who know him well point out, “Ferran he is like a caged lion, he feels strong and therefore needs a field to run. He is able to lead the attack of a great team and to be decisive as a starter. You just have to see their numbers with the selection, in which Luis Enrique He has given him his total confidence ”. With this selector there is pressure and focus but the numbers of Torres they are stellar with La Roja: 12 goals in 22 games. This year, with City, he has only added 7 games in which he has scored three goals and one assist. A right foot injury suffered with the national team in the Nations League, in their exhibition against Italy, has him in dry dock, but he is expected to play again in December or at the latest in January.
The Barça already approached Ferran Torres in 2020, before his move to City, but the Barça club did not take the final step and Guardiola he took it for about 23 million more variables (about 12 million of which 5 more have already been paid). Then the forward considered his signing as an Erasmus to learn with Pep Guardiola and get used to a ‘top’ requirement when competing in powerful English football, but always with the idea of returning to LaLiga if a great called him. And Barça has called him.
