Multiple reports have confirmed that Newcastle have made their first official bid for Ferran Torres by submitting a formal offer. The Barcelona forward has long been admired by the interested team, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad ahead of the run-in. Whether the current offer will be enough to tempt Barcelona to part with a prized asset remains to be seen. Newcastle remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Tottenham continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. In season 25/26, Newcastle are only scoring 0.67 goals per game (4 in 6), below the Premier League average. Ferran Torres would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Barcelona have also been linked with Christopher Nkunku, Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos and Nicolas Jackson while Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Aaron Ramsdale, Brahim Diaz and John McGinn.
