Since arriving from Manchester City in a 55 million euros deal in January, Ferran Torres has started in almost every game for Barcelona, and participated in 15 of them in all competition. Used primarily as a left forward in Xavi’s 4-3-3 formation, young Spaniard scored 6 goals and assisted in 5. Along with his teammate from the right side Ousmane Dembele (22 games, 2 goals 10 assists) the duo has been a regular threat in Xavi’s reformation in Catalonia.Ferran Torres will do anything to keep Dembele at Barça 🤣 pic.twitter.com/QDbSeymH9V— 433 (@433) April 7, 2022 But unlike Ferran, who just arrived to the club, Dembele looks to be on his way out, as his contract is expiring at the end of the season. But, the Frenchman has been a revelation since Xavi used him properly and gave him motivation. And because of the ‘Xavi’ factor, and arrival of his good pal Aubameyang, Dembele is having second thoughts about leaving. The Barcelona bord is keen to extend him, but now, with a new financial plan, there are wage limits which the player would have to accept. For Torres, there is no dilemma.”I would kidnap him in Barcelona. It’s a good club. It’s one of the best in the world. But there are things that are none of our business. It’s his decision. In whatever he decides, I wish him the best“ said Ferran.Barca’s note to Dembele: You will have to come to the office in person if you wish to stayAnother player which also ‘ticks’ the young Spaniard is his teammate Pedri, who is playing excellent again, and his beautiful goal was decisive against Seville.”Those of us who train with him every day are not surprised. He is a luxury. Every day he surprises me because of the quality he has and the humility with which he carries himself. He can define an era and today he can be one of the best in the world“ explains Pedri’s teammate.You give me less money – I stay for less time: Araujo remains at BarcaBoth player will almost certainly be a part of the first 11 for the game against Frankfurt in Europa League, as Barca is looking to win the competition, since they already found themselves in it. „Barcelona is a club that must fight for all competitions. We will fight for the Europa League and we will do everything we can to achieve it. There is no overconfidence. The coach makes it clear that we have to take it one game at a time. If you lose tomorrow, nobody remembers the dynamic. We have to approach the match with humility and desire” said Torres.Bojan reveals: “Pep’s Barca didn’t treat Zlatan with due respect”The player is one of many who was influenced by Xavi and showed all his skills in La Liga.”I think Xavi brings DNA, leadership and humility. He has given us confidence and has not put us under pressure, which is appreciated. Since the first day, Xavi has given me his total confidence, and that has been very important for me in my adaptation. I’m still in the process. I’m in a good moment. I’m helping the team. I think the players up top have to score goals and give assists. I have to participate. I’m more of a winger than a striker. If I have chances and I make them, it’s better for me and for the team” Ferran reflected.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUEQuarter-final, first legThursday19.45: (1.80) RB Leipzig (3.60) Atalanta (4.60)22.00: (5.10) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.70) Barcelona (1.70)22.00: (2.05) West Ham (3.50) Olympique Lyon (3.90)22.00: (2.30) Braga (3.35) Rangers (3.40)***odds are subject to change
