Ferran Torres does not join Barça upon the return of the world champions

This Wednesday, FC Barcelona recovered four of the world champions with Spain who had not yet joined the preseason, but did so without Ferran Torres, whose absence upon returning to work fuels speculation about his future as a Blaugrana, at a time when there is a possible interest from Paris Saint-Germain in his signing.

Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Pau Cubarsí and Pedri have joined the first team dynamic after enjoying their holidays after winning the World Cup with the Spanish team and have done individual work at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

In this way, the German coach, Hansi Flick, already has a good part of the international world champions, after Gavi voluntarily rejoined a few days ago to begin work earlier with his teammates and in a new squad that has yet to be finalized.

The main novelty has been, therefore, the absence of Ferran Torres, who has not returned along with the rest of the world champions with the approval of the club, who has not detailed anything regarding the ‘Tiburón’, hero of the World Cup conquest by scoring the winning goal in the World Cup final against Argentina.

The Valencian striker, who has been on vacation in Ibia and the United States before returning to his town of Foios and Valencia to receive tributes, appears in the pools to leave FC Barcelona in the coming days if there is an agreement between the parties.

On the other hand, the Blaugrana squad thus faces a new day of preparation for the start of the 2026/27 season, with a double training session scheduled for this Wednesday.

In addition to the available first team players, Flick has had a wide representation from Barça Atlètic and Juvenil, including Hamza Abdelkarim, Álvaro Cortés, Jordi Pesquer, Orian Goren, Ebrima Tunkara, Brian Fariñas, Xavi Espart, Jofre Torrents, Guillermo Fernández, Tommy Marqués, Toni Fernández and Áron Yaakobishvili.

VISIT BY JORDI FERNÁNDEZ

The day also featured a visit from Jordi Fernández, Catalan coach of the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA, who followed the training and shared impressions with Flick. The coach from Badalona, ​​​​the first Spanish coach in the history of the American league, has been able to exchange experiences with the German at the Ciutat Esportiva.
