Speaking to RAC-1, FC Barcelona sporting director Deco discussed the departure of Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old forward now with Paris Saint-Germain. The executive explained that he respected the Spaniard’s desire to take on more responsibility and expressed his delight at the player’s three Champions League goals.
Deco: “Players need to be happy”
“Players need to be happy. I am pleased for him that he has scored three goals for PSG in the Champions League. Ultimately, he wanted to be a key player; we listened to him when he wanted to leave, and we are grateful to him. He contributed a great deal, and I wish him the best.”
After scoring a brace against Rennes (2-2), Ferran Torres has just netted a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava (6-1), confirming his effectiveness early in his Parisian stint. These initial performances lend weight to his ambition of becoming a key figure in the attack.
He is also finding his rhythm under Luis Enrique, who previously managed him with the Spanish national team. This mutual familiarity could ease his integration, though the role he seeks to secure will be built over time, depending on his performances and the coach’s decisions.
