Ferran Torres will face a test this season and proves that he can become Barcelona s future No. 9

When 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski started his last dance in his Barcelona career. An ultimate question about the club's future has been put on the table of sports director Deco. Who will be Barcelona's next No. 9? In the market, the names of Isaac, Alvarez and even Haaland were once associated with Camp Nou. But now it seems that Deco and Flick already have their answers. The answer is not elsewhere, it is in the team.

He is Ferran Torres. Mr.

Mr.

Mr. cannot afford Barcelona's financial situation and they are not allowed to make big purchases in the transfer market. Deco is very clear that the club cannot pay a sky-high transfer fee for introducing a top center.

Barcelona must embark on a smarter path - tapping potential within.

Ferran's path to the top

Ferran Torres, the Valencian who is loved by fans as a shark. We are using our own efforts to win a future for ourselves.

At the beginning, he joined from Manchester City to strengthen the wing. But after several seasons of polishing, he unexpectedly ushered in a rebirth at the center position. At the beginning of the new season, he seized the excellent opportunity of Lewandowski being out due to injury and scored 2 goals efficiently in three league games.

His running, his shooting skills and his big heart all convinced Deco and Flick that he has the potential to become the new answer to Barcelona's forward line after Lewandowski.

The Ultimate Big Test

Deco has regarded Ferran as the first pick in the No. 9 position after Lewandowski left the team.

Of course, this is not a letter of recommendation, but an examination paper. The entire 2025-26 season will be the ultimate test for Ferran Torres to clear his name.

If he can continue his hot form at the beginning of the season, he will use a 20+ goal season to repay the trust of the coaching staff. Then next summer he will be officially crowned and become Barcelona's new No. 9. The club will also save nearly 100 million euros in transfer fees.

If he fails this big test. Then Deco and Flick will have to overturn existing plans. Next summer, re-enter the crazy transfer market.

Deco's trust, Flick's support, Lewand's appointment... All the scripts have been written for Ferran.

Now, it is his turn to use his performance to write a perfect ending for this story.
