Tottenham and Newcastle bids worth €50m blocked by Barcelona for 25-year-old player – Report

FC Barcelona boast a talented and well-balanced squad at Hansi Flick’s disposal, blending youth and experience in every position. Several players enjoyed a resurgence under the German coach last season, and one of the most notable was Ferran Torres.

The 25-year-old forward, once listed for transfer, found a role perfectly suited to his skill set. Flick identified him as a natural number nine alternative to Robert Lewandowski, and Torres thrived in the position, becoming a decisive and invaluable asset by the end of the campaign.

According to [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/oferta-millonaria-rechazo-barcelona-ferran-torres-20250809.html), Barcelona recently received two offers worth €50 million each from Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. The Catalan club’s response was swift and firm: Ferran is not for sale.

Interest from England is nothing new. Last summer, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa lodged a €20 million bid, far below the €55 million Barcelona paid Manchester City for him in 2022. His previous Premier League experience, with a season and a half at City, continues to make him an attractive target for English sides.

Despite the financial lure, Barcelona opted to reject both offers, [and Torres also wants to remain at Camp Nou](https://semprebarca.com/e40-million-rated-barcelona-star-targets-better-season-has-no-plans-to-leave-the-club/). With Lewandowski’s workload likely to be managed more carefully this season, Torres is expected to see increased minutes as a central striker.

The current version of Ferran is proving increasingly clinical, needing few chances to score. If his pre-season form is any indication, Barcelona could be set to benefit greatly from his sharpness in the months ahead.
