Newcastle United is readying a substantial offer for the Barcelona forward valued at €30 million.
In a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, it has been disclosed that Newcastle United is preparing an attractive offer to bring Barcelona’s Ferran Torres back to England.
The club is reportedly planning to present a lucrative proposal in hopes of persuading the forward to make the move this summer.
Since joining Barcelona, Torres has sparked mixed opinions, making his starting position against Valencia surprising. Despite his performances and uncertainty about his future, it appears Torres will remain with Barcelona for the upcoming season, serving as a valuable option in their attacking lineup.
Nonetheless, his reputation in England remains strong, and Newcastle United is eager to capitalize on this.
A return to England is possible
Sources from England suggest that Newcastle is determined to bring Torres to St James’ Park before the transfer window closes. They are actively seeking a new winger, with Torres being a top target.

Other potential signings include Noni Madueke, a Chelsea player currently sidelined due to the club’s crowded roster.
However, Newcastle’s interest in Torres is particularly significant as they aim to secure a top-quality addition to their squad.
Barcelona, on their part, are open to considering offers for Torres. Selling him could significantly benefit the club financially, helping to balance their books and potentially fund new acquisitions.
A sale would be good for Barcelona
This financial flexibility is crucial for Barcelona as they look to strengthen their team. Despite this, Torres himself is keen to remain at Barcelona and repay the trust that Xavi has shown in him by staying with the team.
With the transfer window set to close on August 30, Barcelona is focused on expediting the departures of players such as Clement Lenglet, Vitor Roque, and Mikayil Faye—none of whom are in Xavi’s plans.
If Newcastle United wishes to secure Torres, they will need to act swiftly and make their move before the window shuts.
