According to a recent update from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are preparing for the future of their attack as Robert Lewandowski nears the end of his career.
As reported before, the club has decided not to renew Lewandowski’s contract, concerned about his declining physical performance and his inability to press at the same pace as the rest of the team.
For the 2026/27 season, Barcelona feel they cannot rely on Lewandowski as their starting striker and need a backup who can keep the team’s intensity high.
Ferran Torre – The protagonist
This is where Ferran Torres comes in. According to the outlet, the young forward has emerged as a key option for Barcelona both now and in the future.
So far this season, Ferran has recorded six goal contributions, making him the second-highest contributor in the squad, just behind Marcus Rashford.
Ever since joining Barcelona, he has often been used as a backup to forwards. This meant limited opportunities to play as a central striker under former manager Xavi Hernandez.

However, Hansi Flick has favoured putting the Spaniard in the centre of the attack, giving him a bigger role.
To put into perspective, until the ongoing international break, the former Manchester City forward started in eight games and came on as a substitute in only two.
Keeping an eye on the market
While Ferran’s development is promising, Barcelona are still exploring the transfer market to strengthen the centre-forward position.
As reported earlier this month, the club remains very interested in Cameroonian striker Etta Eyong, seeing him as a potential key signing for next season.
However, no final decision has been made yet. Considering Ferran’s current form and growth, Barcelona will need to reassess the situation.
If he continues to perform at this level, he could become the team’s main striker, reducing the need for immediate new signings.
