Sport on Jofre Torrents -
Barça have one of the best left-backs in Europe in their squad. Alejandro Balde is only 21 years old but has already played more than 110 games with the first team and is constantly growing. His season is being spectacular and he is more than fixed for Hansi Flick. He has played 31 games and has only rested in four.
That lack of rest caused the club to consider looking for a left-back in the market for next season. The analysis carried out, however, has led to the conclusion that signing a left-back is not a priority. The sporting director himself, Deco, acknowledged this in a recent interview with SPORT. "We are not looking for full-backs, we are happy with the ones we have," he said.
The reason is that both Deco and Flick are satisfied with what they have and with what is to come. Balde is very young and Barça have a left-back for many years. Both the sporting director and the coach are also trusting Gerard Martín. With a reserve team record, but in the dynamics of the first team, he has already participated in 22 games this season and the sporting management has improved and He extended his contract until 2028 during the last winter transfer window.
But they also have a lot of hopes placed in Jofre Torrents, youth of the year 2007, like Cubarsí and Lamine Yamal, who turned 18 in January. In the sporting management they see the player from the Selva del Camp as a safe player in the first team and therefore they do not want to cover his progression with a signing. In fact They already have an agreement in principle to renew their contract until June 30, 2028.
Jofre Torrents, who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury for which he will be out until mid-March, arrived at Barça from Reus in 2018 and his only dream is to succeed at Barça. For this reason, he did not even want to listen to some of the offers that could come from England and Germany. He has been climbing steps to become one of the most important players in Belletti's youth team this season, a team that he could leave when he is recovered from injury to be part of the reserve team.
The player from Reus is a very fast, powerful and technical full-back who stands out for his enormous ability to overcome opponents while driving. In addition, he is intelligent, he knows when he should play inside or outside and he gets to the back line very well to get good crosses. Powerful physically, he is also very strong mentally. This is how he was able to overcome the serious knee injury that made him go blank last season. That mental strength will allow him to reach the first team. In the sporting management they are sure that this will be the case.
