Barcelona Star Ferran Torres Rejected the Premier League Move
Barcelona star Ferran Torres rejected an offer from the Premier League club during the recently concluded transfer window. The Spain international joined the Blaugrana during the January transfer window of 2022.
He impressed with his performances during the second half of last season, registering four goals and four assists in 18 league appearances. However, the arrival of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha last summer has pushed him down the pecking order at the club.
The 22-year-old attacker has started just six La Liga games so far this term. Several media outlets have linked him with a move away from Camp Nou last month.
Ferran Torres spent one-and-a-half season with Premier League giants Manchester City between 2020 and 2022. He played 28 league games during his time in England, registering nine goals and three assists. Barcelona spent a massive transfer fee of €55 million to bring him to Camp Nou.
Rafa Marquez, Barcelona Athletic coach, is surprised by Andreas Christensen’s performances. While speaking to the media, he said: “At the back, we are seeing more of Araujo and Christensen in the central axis. “
“Perhaps the defender who has surprised me the most is Christensen, who is having a great performance and has adapted quickly. There is no doubt about how important Araujo is and the player he is becoming. On.”
The Denmark international joined Barcelona as a free agent from Chelsea during last summer’s transfer window. He struggled during his first few months at Camp Nou but has turned things around in recent games.
Andreas Christensen has played 10 La Liga games for the Blaugrana so far, registering one assist. He has established a solid partnership with Ronald Araújo in the heart of the Barcelona defense.
Barcelona are currently sitting at the top of the La Liga table, eight points clear of second-placed Real Madrid. They will next play against Villarreal in a league game on February 13.
