Barcelona did not see arrivals in the January transfer window this year, compared to the activity in frantic times of the previous seasons. That was partly due to the lack of exits, apart from Captain Atlético del Barça Unai Hernández to Saudi Arabia, but the Blaugrana were only interested in certain exits.
A clear example is the decision to deliver to Ronald Araujo a new contract after an offer from Juventus for the Uruguayan Central Defender, who signed a new agreement until 2031. Since then he has declared that he is delighted to be in the club, and plans Be then for many years. However, they were not the only giant in Serie A to make an approach to a star in Barcelona.

According to Marca, AC Milan made an approach to striker Ferran Torres during the winter window. It was reported in early January that Torres was one of the five players that Barcelona would hear the offers, and the interest of Rossoneri was revealed in the middle of the window. They say that Napoli’s consultations (to replace Khvicha Kvararataskhelia), Borussia Dortmund (to place Donyell Malen) and the arsenal (to add to his attack options) had already been rejected, and when Milan sought to sign an alternative to Álvo Morata (Now Galatasaray), Sports Director Deco firmly informed them that he would not leave Barcelona.
Milan had already considered a movement for him in the summer when it seemed that Rafael Leao could move. Hansi Flick values Torres’ attitude and his contribution in the field, and he is his main alternative to the initial trident. So far this season, Torres has made 24 appearances, scoring 7 times and giving 3 assists. However, most of these contributions have been banking, and that averages as a contribution objective every 85 minutes.
