Ferran still has not been registered, despite the fact that Barcelona publicly emits messages of optimism. It seems that the situation has changed, although at the time of his signing, not even the board was clear that the former Valencia could wear his new shirt this season. As reported by the program Que T’Hi Jugues, The reason why Barça delayed the official announcement of the signing of Ferran Torres is because it was still negotiating with Manchester City the inclusion of a clause, request of the Blaugrana entity. In it, the possibility of returning Ferran to Guardiola’s team if the player could not be registered in this winter market.
It seems that finally said clause does not exist, also because of Barcelona’s confidence in giving way to important players in this market to be able to register Ferran without problems. At the moment, neither he nor Dani Alves are registered, but no exits have arrived either. Umtiti, Demir, Coutinho or Neto They are, today, the best positioned to leave the team in the coming weeks. In addition, another detail that delayed the announcement is a debt that Barça still had with City for Denis Suárez, of one and a half million euros.
The positive in COVID-19 of Ferran Torres seems to rule him out definitively for the dispute of the Spanish Super Cup. However, it remains to be seen if he will already be part of the first squad by that time. Meanwhile, the phones in the Camp Nou offices are fuming. Barça has several market stripes trying to discard their discards, which are the ones that compromise the registrations due to the salary limit. In recent days, there is talk of different formulas that would bring signings to the fore. It is a matter of time before the hornet’s nest shakes. The past is already past, but that does not mean that it ceases to be characteristic: incredible as it may seem, Barcelona wanted a clause for Ferran’s return.
