24-year-old Barcelona forward rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia in January – Report | OneFootball

Ferran Torres was inarguably the most impressive player on the pitch as FC Barcelona scored a manita against Valencia in their Copa del Rey quarter-final tie at the Mestalla.

With this performance, the Spaniard once again proved that he can be a highly important piece for this Blaugrana squad, even though there is no starting spot available for him in Hansi Flick’s forward line of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha.

But despite his secondary role in the team, the former Manchester City forward had no doubts about his continuity at Barcelona in the last winter transfer window. Meanwhile, the Catalan club itself highly values the player and Flick is counting on him to play an important role in the team.

This is clear from a report from SPORT, which claims that the Blaugranes had a very appealing offer from Saudi Arabia for Torres, but neither Barcelona nor Torres even commented on the matter as despite the high amounts involved, both the parties were clear about their relationship going forward.

The offer was made as the Blaugranes visited Saudi Arabia for their Spanish Super Cup tie, at the beginning of this year. Some executives of the Saudi Pro League expressed their interest in an immediate signing of the forward. However, the player only wants to taste success with Barcelona and is currently in a good run of form.

In addition to Valencia, several other European clubs have also shown their interest in the Spaniard. However, Flick does not want to lose such an effective piece ahead of the second and crucial half of the season.

With two years left on his contract, there has recently been a lot of speculation about Torres’ future at Barcelona in recent months, especially when game time was scarce for him. However, things have changed considerably for him, and he looks set to contribute to the Blaugranes’ success in the coming months.
