Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is reportedly unhappy with the statements made by World Cup winner Ferran Torres to American journalists, which hinted at the striker's intention to transfer. This is according to a report by the Spanish sports daily newspaper Marca.

Torres, despite being contracted to the Spanish champions until 2027, had previously said: "Barcelona has to prove that they want me. The club can come and negotiate, and in the end, we will talk about everything." He added: "For now, I only know that I have to be there on the 12th and train with Barca, so we'll see what happens. Nobody knows, because in football, everything can change in a minute, so I have to be prepared for anything."

How are FC Barcelona Officials Reacting to Ferran Torres' Statements?

FC Barcelona was reportedly caught off guard by these statements, as Flick intends to keep Torres, according to Marca. Furthermore, the Catalan club wants to extend the striker's contract and has no intention of losing him this summer. Several clubs are reportedly interested, including Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

However, neither Flick nor any other Barcelona official has publicly commented on Torres' statements. According to Marca, the club wishes to project an image of calm reaction. Nevertheless, Barcelona officials are reportedly irritated that Torres chose to go public rather than speaking to them directly.
