It's confirmed, from Bayer to Barça, he's coming home, Ferran Torres welcomes him

Barça has a truly young and promising squad. It's true that they need reinforcements in several key positions, but the feeling is that the culé project can still grow much more. Last season, with a truly inexperienced locker room, Flick managed to reach the Champions League semifinals and lift the LaLiga title.

In this context, one of the standout names this season is Ferran Torres, who has earned everyone's trust and has become the starting "9". The Valencian striker has taken advantage of Lewandowski's irregular start with impeccable attitude in every match and by scoring several goals. Flick values his defensive sacrifice and his ability to adapt to various positions, which has allowed him to earn more minutes on the field.

Ferran Torres gives the green light to Barça's next signing

Ferran Torres is aware that internal competition fuels the locker room, multiplying desire and intensity, which makes it easier to win titles. Last year, when he had to compete with Lewandowski, both showed their best level. That's why the board is already working on the most urgent reinforcements for the positions with fewer alternatives.

In this regard, Deco knows he must go to the market to strengthen such important positions as right back or the front line. However, the area that worries the board the most is the left side of the defense, where Balde still hasn't convinced. Meanwhile, a name that's been on the culé agenda for some time could return home: Alejandro Grimaldo.

The Bayer Leverkusen star has reached an extraordinary level since his arrival in the Bundesliga, establishing himself as one of the best full-backs in the world. His offensive ability, ball striking, and tactical intelligence make him an ideal fit for Barça's style. In addition, Alejandro Grimaldo is Valencian like Ferran Torres, they play together for the Spanish national team, and he was trained at La Masia, so his return would have a very powerful emotional component.

Alejandro Grimaldo's price

The transfer fee would range between €20 and €30 million, an affordable figure considering the player's current performance. The operation is viewed favorably by the sporting management, who believe that Alejandro Grimaldo could be a starter ahead of Balde. Meanwhile, if he's not, he's sure to provide more competition than Gerard Martín, who seems to have his days numbered.

For Ferran Torres and several of his teammates, Alejandro Grimaldo's arrival would be special. They have shared training sessions, matches, and camps with the Spanish national team, creating a relationship of trust within the national locker room. They would all be delighted to welcome a compatriot who, in addition, would return home after leaving La Masia.
