Barcelona Forward and Antwerp Prodigy on Inter Radar

2 weeks ago 13

Ferran Torres could be on his way out this summer due to a reduced role, and Inter have emerged as a potential landing spot. The winger has progressively lost minutes this campaign due to Raphinha and Lamine Yamal’s performances.

Per El Nacional (via Calciomercato), the Blaugrana will have to sell a few players to operate on the transfer market due to their Financial Fair Play problems. The 24-year-old is expendable. He has posted 11 goals and 4 assists in 38 appearances this campaign. However, he has come off the bench in five of the last six fixtures following an injury.

While Ferran Torres could leave Barcelona, his price tag could be a problem for Inter and other potential suitors. The Catalans paid €55M to acquire him from Manchester City in January 2022. His valuation now is roughly €45M now.

The Nerazzurri are looking for a slippery player to round out their frontline and are tracking primarily Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson. They are also keeping tabs on George Ilenikhena, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. He has bloomed quickly at Antwerp following a €6M move from Amiens. The 17-year-old has hit the net nine times this season. He has been dubbed the new Victor Osimhen.

Our Take on Inter and Ferran Torres

He’d be a high-profile choice that fits their needs, but the only way it could happen is if Barcelona agreed to a lower fee and a multi-year loan with an obligation to buy, as the Nerazzurri are in no position to splurge.
