Barcelona is expected to part ways with one of their two current strikers during the upcoming summer transfer window. For much of the season, it seemed likely that Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires in June, would be the one to leave. However, recent weeks have seen increased speculation regarding Ferran Torres’ future as well.
Ferran had a strong start to the season, but his form has dipped since the beginning of the year. He has managed just three goals in his last 21 appearances across all competitions. Amid this downturn, Barcelona has decided to consider offers for his services, which puts Atletico Madrid in a favorable position.

According to Matteo Moretto (via Marca), Atletico is eager to acquire Ferran. Sporting director Mateu Alemany is particularly interested, having previously signed Ferran from Manchester City in the winter of 2022.
While Moretto reports that Barcelona has not yet made a final decision on Ferran’s potential departure this summer, Atletico and Alemany are likely to monitor his situation closely.

In addition to Ferran, Atletico is aiming to boost their midfield by targeting Andre, a standout player from Corinthians. He was previously on the verge of joining Milan and is highly regarded by officials at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, with many praising his talent.
