Barcelona were very open to offers for a significant part of their squad this summer as they faced a serious battle to sign star Dani Olmo. Ansu Fati, Raphinha and Vitor Roque have been regularly linked with an exit, but Ferran Torres much less.
The Spanish international, who scores at a better rate than Fernando Torres and David Villa for La Roja, has been linked with Newcastle United on several occasions, although in each case, those have been denied.

Matteo Moretto he revealed about it Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano that he has no confirmation that Newcastle have yet inquired about Torres, but explained that there was no serious interest in the summer for the 24-year-old. The main reason was that Torres was determined to stay at the club, and at no point did he consider anything else. Anyone trying to sign him would have said exactly that.
Most clubs tend to first ring the players' agents to gauge interest in a move before proceeding to explore the potential terms of an agreement from their club, or ask their agents to do so. In the case of Torres, it seems that he did not even entertain the idea.
