Barcelona renews contract talks with Ferran Torres following Lewandowski's exit

Barcelona has accelerated contract discussions with Ferran Torres after Robert Lewandowski's departure. Initially, the club planned to wait until later this summer to address Torres' situation. However, the decision has shifted due to their unsuccessful attempts to sign Julian Alvarez and the choice not to activate Marcus Rashford's purchase option. Torres, with one year left on his current contract, could see an extension of three to four years, pending negotiations with his agent. He scored 21 goals across all competitions last season.
