Barcelona fully counting on 23-year-old forward for next season, club appreciates his mentality

Barcelona still have time to salvage themselves and give Xavi a hero’s send-off, but based on the team’s shortcomings thus far, it is hard to anticipate a fairytale ending to the campaign.

The Catalan giants have been knocked out of the Copa del Rey, lost the Spanish Super Cup to arch-rivals Real Madrid, and trail behind Girona and Real Madrid in the league standings.

Nonetheless, amidst the collective adversity, there have been a fair few individuals to write home about.

As much as the team has looked like a pale shadow of its former self as a unit, certain players have made strong cases for their continuity ahead of next season.

One of these players is Ferran Torres. Despite the club’s dire financial condition requiring them to make sales, the 23-year-old forward has earned full faith from the hierarchy.

Barcelona are fully counting on Ferran Torres

Indeed, as per Mundo Deportivo, Ferran Torres is a player whom Barça are banking heavily on for the next campaign.

After a summer riddled with exit rumors, Ferran entirely reversed his situation this season, proving to be an important contributor despite irregularly featuring in the starting XI.

According to the information, the Catalan club particularly appreciates his versatility and strong mentality.

The former Manchester City player’s ability to make an impact in brief cameos pays a testament to his unbreakable resolve, while his adaptability across all three positions of the front line renders him a unique asset.

With 11 goals and four assists in 32 games this season, Ferran Torres is Barcelona’s second-highest scorer, only surpassed by Robert Lewandowski, who has 14 goals

Currently, Ferran is busy recovering from a hamstring injury, but his place in the squad is not in threat owing to the strides he has made up until this point.
