Barcelona forward Ferran Torres\u2019 stock has plummeted in recent times, with the 22-year-old struggling to get into the starting XI under Xavi Hernandez.<\/p>\n
Having arrived in January last year, the Spaniard made a good initial impression. But, his performances this season have not been up to the mark. With increased competition in the squad, Torres\u2019 game-time has taken a major hit, especially after the World Cup break.<\/p>\n
The forward\u2019s reduced prominence and the club\u2019s need to make big sales in the summer have led to speculations over his future at Camp Nou beyond the current campaign.<\/p>\n
According to SPORT, however, Torres has no intention to leave Barcelona in the summer transfer window as the versatile attacker wants to prove himself and succeed at the club.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old has not started a game in La Liga since November, while his last start across all competitions came in the Copa del Rey clash against minnows AD Ceuta.<\/p>\n
Despite his situation, Torres is understood to be calm and comfortable at Bar\u00e7a and is hopeful of turning his situation around.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old former Valencia forward did not pay any attention to proposals from the Premier League in the January transfer window. And he is unlikely to change that stance come summer.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are understood to be aware of Torres\u2019 stance on his future, although the club will assess the situation in the summer and decide what is best for all parties.<\/p>\n
Amidst this, Atletico Madrid are believed to be retaining an interest in the 22-year-old Spanish international. The Rojiblancos already raided Barcelona for Memphis Depay last month and hold a degree of interest in Ferran Torres too.<\/p>\n
It must be noted that Bar\u00e7a are keen on signing Yannick Carrasco and have a \u20ac20 million purchase option for him in the summer. Whether Torres enters the operation in any form remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
