Robert Lewandowski does not want to play alongside Ferran Torres. The star player for Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski, is allegedly sick of playing alongside Ferran Torres, according to El Nacional. In January of the previous year, the Spaniard moved from Manchester City to the Catalan team. The 22-year-old, nevertheless, has struggled since signing with Barcelona.
Torres has made 49 appearances since joining the Blaugrana, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists. He has made 23 appearances this season, scoring five goals and providing one assist. But the Spaniard has repeatedly faced criticism for his lackluster performances on the field. Players like Ansu Fati, Raphinha, and Ousmane Dembele have surpassed Torres in the pecking order.
Last year, Xavi urged the team to sign the 22-year-old, but the former Valencia player has since fallen short of the manager’s hopes. According to the aforementioned source, Robert Lewandowski, who has led the Catalan club’s attack this season, is unhappy about partnering with Torres.
Additionally, it was stated in the article that club president Joan Laporta and sports director Matheu Alneny had come to the conclusion that the effort to sign Torres had been a failure. Given Barcelona’s continued financial problems, it’s possible that the team will sell Torres if a buyer emerges.
In his time with Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele has accomplished a stunning comeback. This season, the French winger has distinguished himself as one of the team’s most important players under Xavi. In 28 games so far this season, Dembele has eight goals and seven assists to his credit.
However, the former Borussia Dortmund star was hurt while playing for the squad against Girona on the road in La Liga. In the match’s 26th minute, Pedri took his position.
Following the game’s conclusion, Xavi gave an update on Dembele’s injury. Dembélé? I think there is an important injury, It is unfortunate as he is one of our most decisive footballers, the most differential. We will find out what the tests say, but he felt something. We keep hoping it’s as minor as possible. It threw off our plans, but Jordi Alba was excellent in the second half, opening the pitch and letting Gavi enter between the lines.
