Bombshell! CSKA offers €30M, goodbye Barça, Ferran Torres comes out on top

Ferran Torres is going through such a good run of form that, in the eyes of many, it should secure him a starting spot at Barça. His speed, commitment, and effectiveness in front of goal have grown to unexpected levels, even sending Lewandowski to the Barça bench. However, despite his spectacular performance, his future at Camp Nou is far from guaranteed.

Barça's number 7 knows that his position on the team depends not only on his level, but also on the moves the sporting management will make in the coming months. According to what is being discussed in the offices, there are several factors that could complicate Ferran Torres's future at FC Barcelona.

A top signing complicates Ferran Torres's continuity

In England, several Premier League clubs are closely following Ferran Torres's progress. However, the real source of concern for number 7 isn't outside, but inside the locker room. After several years competing with Robert Lewandowski for a starting spot, Ferran thought that next season, without the Pole, he'd have a free run, but it seems Hansi Flick has other plans.

Specifically, the German coach has asked the Barça board to sign Etta Eyong, the young Cameroonian striker from Levante. His emergence has been one of the biggest surprises in LaLiga: power, speed, and a goal-scoring instinct that have made him a true revelation. Flick believes that his profile would fit perfectly with Barça's style.

CSKA appears to save Ferran Torres

Etta Eyong is not only on Barça's radar, but also on that of several European clubs, and among them stands out an unexpected candidate: CSKA of Moscow. According to several Russian media outlets, the historic Russian club would be willing to offer €30 million for his signing in the winter transfer window. This is a more than considerable amount (about €30 million) that could change all of FC Barcelona's plans.

If CSKA manages to complete the signing of Etta Eyong, Ferran Torres would be the big winner, keeping his status as starting striker for next year. For number 7, it would be the best possible news: more continuity, more confidence, and the chance to establish himself as a key piece in the Barça project. Without the Cameroonian or Lewandowski, Ferran would have a free run to be Barça's top scorer.

However, the truth is that it seems very difficult for CSKA to convince Etta Eyong. He is happy at Levante and only wants to finish the season in the best possible way. Therefore, barring a major surprise, the debate about Barça and Etta Eyong will return next summer, much to Ferran Torres's regret.
