FC Barcelona has decided to take an unexpected turn in its sports planning for the transfer market: they will not look for a backup center forward for Robert Lewandowski, instead opting for the continuity of Ferran Torres as the main alternative in that position. The performance of the Valencia forward has convinced the board and the coaching staff, who now see him as a player capable of competing for the starting position.
This internal move responds not only to sporting issues but also economic ones. Strengthening the attack with a top-level 'number nine' would involve a financial effort that the club prefers to avoid, prioritizing other needs, such as incorporating a left winger. In this context, Ferran has gained importance within the project, not only for his numbers but also for his attitude and ability to adapt to the demands of coach Hansi Flick.

The player from Foios has had a particularly productive season, comfortably suring his previous records. With 19 goals in 41 matches, he has shown he can be decisive even when coming off the bench or being used in different attacking roles. This progression has not gone unnoticed in the club's offices.
While Barça plays a significant part of its chances in LaLiga and the Champions League in the games, planning for the next season is quietly progressing. Betting on what is already in place—and has worked—might be one of the smartest decisions in a context so heavily influenced by the economy. Ferran Torres, without making noise, has earned a place and now seems to be a key piece in Barcelona's immediate future.
