Ferran Torres PSG form and Barcelona dressing room tensions, Digi Mart USA News: According to a report published by El Nacional, Ferran Torres’s departure from Barcelona was not amicable. Although Barcelona did not place obstacles in his way and allowed him to leave freely, his former teammates reportedly disliked his behavior, and the report says he maintains a good relationship only with Pedri González.
The report says tensions surfaced during a recent match against Paris Saint-Germain, when Raphinha Dias had an argument with Torres on the pitch. It also states that Joan Laporta and Deco were angered by the forward, and that Barcelona supporters did not speak kindly of him on social media when he said goodbye.
Torres had a strong start at PSG, scoring a brace on his debut to rescue a point in stoppage time and netting several goals, including a hat trick in the Champions League. The 26-year-old had previously played for Valencia and Manchester City, and the report credits Luis Enrique with pushing for PSG to pay the reported €50 million needed for his signing.
That positive run has since faded, according to the report. Torres has now gone eight matches without scoring, including a international match with Spain against England, and his last goal came in late September against Olympique de Marseille.
His role has reportedly become more secondary, as shown when Luis Enrique chose young Senny Mayulu over him as the central striker in a recent match against Villarreal.
The report adds that RMC Sport has described Torres as a “mistake” and claims that parts of the Barcelona dressing room would celebrate his failures. It states that some players have not forgotten how he left and consider him persona non grata.
The article notes that these claims come from the publisher’s reporting and have not been independently verified.
