Barcelona did not see any arrivals in the transfer star of January this year, compared to the occasional hectic activity of previous seasons. That was partly due to the lack of outputs, apart from Barca Atletic Captain Unai Hernandez to Saudi Arabia, but the Blaugrana were only interested in certain departure.
A clear example is the decision to give Ronald Araujo a new contract after a bid by Juventus for the central defender of Uruguaya, who signed a new deal until 2031. He has since stated that he is in the club and is planning to be to be so many years. However, they were not the only giant from the Serie A who chose an approach for a Barcelona star.
According to Marca, AC Milan made an approach for Ferran Torres during the winter window. At the beginning of January it was reported that Torres was one of the five players who would listen to Barcelona to offers for, and interest from the Rossoneri was unveiled halfway through the window. They say that questions from Napoli (to replace Khvicha kvarataskhelia), Borussia Dortmund (to place Donyell Malen) and Arsenal (to add to their attacking options) had already been rejected, and when Milan was an alternative to Alvaro Morata (now was now From Galatasaray), they were firmly informed by sports director Deco that he would not leave Barcelona.
Milan had already considered a movement for him in the summer when it seemed as if Rafael Leao could move. Hansi Flick appreciates the attitude of Torres and his contribution on the field, and he is their best alternative to the starting Trident. So far, Torres has made 24 performances this season, scored 7 times and gave 3 assists. However, most of those contributions have been from the bank, and that is on average as a goal that contributes every 85 minutes.
