Barcelona star’s versatility could see him re-enter Xavi Hernandez’s plans

One of those to impress during Barcelona’s pre-season friendly defeat to Arsenal on Thursday morning was Ferran Torres. The 23-year-old played as a striker during the second half of the match, scoring in the 88th minute.

Barcelona have been hoping to sell Torres this summer, as he is down the pecking order under Xavi Hernandez. Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha are preferred on the right wing, which is Torres’ natural position.

However, a sale looks unlikely as Torres has continuously re-iterated his desire to stay at Barcelona, and according to Sport, Xavi is looking at ways to implement him for next season.

Torres is a very versatile footballer, and he can play all across the front three. Xavi could look to rely on this going forward, especially with no natural backup option to striker Robert Lewandowski, with Vitor Roque not joining until next year. Xavi is also contemplating using Torres on the left as an interior, a position he impressed in at times during last season.

Barcelona will now look to retain Torres going forward, and he will be given the chance to prove him worth.

  2. Xavi this is you becoming stupid taken by this finished Torres ferran. Let him go it’s a play..we had to let go of Sanchez, Ibrahimovic those days what of this useless guy who is busy playing matrix on top of your head work up..just scoring a silver plate go you so something special from that goal.. this is madness from Xavi

    1. Let Go of Ferran Torres I don’t like that guy mancity shouldn’t have sold him if he was a good player let him go then bring in Felix Bernardo silva it will be the better option than Ferran

  3. This can’t be further from the truth.. Goal isn’t the only measure of a player. Other than the Goal, (which was created solely by Dembele, but Ferran placed the ball well) he was invisible on the pitch. Rather Fati showed some glimpse against White..

  4. Let Ferran go then bring in Bernardo silva or joao Felix I don’t like Ferran he should go Man City shouldn’t have sold him if he was a good player
