Newcastle United’s rumored interest in Barcelona’s Ferran Torres has been refuted by the player’s representatives.
Recent reports had indicated that the English club’s sporting director, Paul Mitchell, was eyeing Torres as a potential right winger signing.
Spanish outlet Sport had suggested that Newcastle was preparing a tempting offer to secure Torres’ transfer from Barcelona, citing potential departures at the club as a motivating factor.
However, Torres’ camp has dismissed these claims, asserting that the player is unaware of any interest from Newcastle and remains committed to Barcelona.
This development comes after earlier speculations in June linking Torres to Newcastle. Despite the rumors, the Euro 2024 champion is focused on vying for a starting role under the leadership of Barcelona’s new manager, Hansi Flick.
