And as alluded to above, these comments have since not gone at all unnoticed behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital…
As per a report from **[Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260804/1004213144/barca-no-varia-postura-pese-desafio-ferran.html)**, though Joan Laporta and co. have not been left angered or ‘lost their composure’ with their attacking star:
‘FC Barcelona received Ferran Torres’ latest statements with surprise. What was not expected is that he said the club has to show him that they want him when the club have already told him for weeks that they want to renew his contract but that it must be in September for ‘fair play’ reasons.’
