Ferran Torres

Ferran Torres made his name at Valencia before Manchester City signed him, though his time at the Etihad was interrupted by injury and he moved to Barcelona in 2021 to rebuild. He is a versatile forward capable of playing across the front line, with a direct running style and a good record in front of goal for Spain at international level — he has been notably more prolific for the national team than his club form sometimes suggests. Competing for places in a crowded Barcelona and Spain attack, Torres has had to fight for minutes, but his work rate and positional flexibility keep him relevant to de la Fuente's plans.
