Ferran Torres responds to the doubts about his Barcelona future

Barcelona are working against the clock to make the necessary sales to solve their Financial Fair Play problems and, at the same time, sign new players to improve the current squad.

Ferran Torres is one of the names linked with an exit in recent weeks, but it seems that the player has other plans...

The former Valencia and Manchester City player joined Barça almost two years ago for €55 million and many feel that he has not performed to the expected standard. The club needs to free up salary space and bring in money, which is why he has been constantly in the pools to leave along with Ansu Fati.

However, Ferran himself, at an event for his Campus in Foios, has silenced the rumours about his possible departure from Barcelona and made his intentions clear: "I really want to stay at Barça, I'm very happy and my plan is to remain linked to the club."

Even so, he is aware that this last year has not been his best and admits that he is already working to come back in better form.

"No one is going to be able to beat me mentally," he added. "Last year I was very unlucky with my foot injury, but this year I want to prove that I'm a very good player."

In recent days, there had been talk about Aston Villa's interest in acquiring his services.

"I have my mobile on airplane mode and I don't receive messages," he claimed. "On July 10, I join (preseason) and my bet is only Barça."

Even so, he did not close the door to a future exit: "In the world of football life takes many turns, today you are in Barcelona and tomorrow..."
