Ferran Torres Faces Uncertain Premier League Return Amid Aston Villa Links

Ferran Torres, who scored a career-best 19 goals in Barcelona’s 2024–25 treble-winning season, is considering his future with Robert Lewandowski still first choice. Despite interest from Aston Villa, no formal offer has been made. Torres remains undecided, especially with the 2026 World Cup approaching and limited starting opportunities under Hansi Flick.

After the 2024-25 season, Ferran Torres faces a big decision about his future at Barcelona. The Spanish forward played a key role in the club’s treble-winning campaign under new manager Hansi Flick, especially when an injury to Robert Lewandowski gave him a chance to lead the attack. Torres made the most of the opportunity, finishing the season with a career-best 19 goals.

Despite his strong finish, Torres still remains behind Lewandowski in the pecking order, and the Polish striker could extend his contract until the 2026-27 season. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Torres must now decide if he’s willing to stay as a secondary option or seek more consistent playing time elsewhere. Aston Villa have been repeatedly linked with a move for the former Manchester City man.

While Spanish outlet Fichajes.net claims Unai Emery is interested and has funds to spend, Mundo Deportivo reports that no official offer has been made and the rumors may be exaggerated. Barcelona are expected to manage Lewandowski’s minutes carefully next season, which could offer Torres more chances. However, much will depend on Flick’s ability to convince him of his importance in a squad that will face a packed calendar.
