Multiple Premier League teams are anticipated to explore the possibility of recalling Ferran Torres to England, with the success of any prospective move depending on the player’s inclination.
Per Graeme Bailey’s report on TBR Football, Torres is a potential target for English clubs in 2025. At present, he is not assured of a starting position at Barcelona, leading to speculation about the possibility of him being transferred.
The clubs Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are only interested in acquiring the forward if he is willing to return. Currently, Torres appears satisfied at Barcelona and is likely to stay with the team in the near future.
Reports indicate that he declined an offer to transfer to Newcastle United in the summer, opting to remain with the Blaugrana. The Magpies remain interested in acquiring him, despite Arsenal’s reported hesitation to sign him due to uncertainty about his willingness to leave Barcelona during the summer.
There are uncertainties regarding the forward’s dedication to leaving the Catalan team, potentially deterring clubs from pursuing a formal bid.
Aston Villa is rumored to have submitted a preliminary bid of approximately €15 million before the January transfer period. Barcelona is expected to decline the offer, as sources indicate a minimum of €25 million would be required for the acquisition of the forward.
The Spanish club’s openness to selling Torres suggests a willingness to make room for new signings and reduce financial burdens by offloading his wages. Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Newcastle are likely to revisit their interest in the player in 2025, with a possible eye on a transfer during the summer.
The outcome of any potential agreement hinges on Torres’ willingness to return to the Premier League.
