Ferran Torres Set to Feature in Barcelona's Final Match, Expected in Spain Squad

Barcelona forward Ferran Torres is set to be available for the final match of the season, an away fixture against Valencia at the Mestalla, according to local reports. This is significant news for the player, who missed the Catalans' last outing against Real Betis but is in need of game time. Torres is widely expected to be included in Luis De la Fuente's squad, which will be announced on Monday, for the upcoming World Cup. Torres is enjoying one of the strongest seasons of his career, having already netted 21 goals in 48 appearances, despite not being a guaranteed starter under Hansi Flick. This impressive form has reportedly caught the eye of De la Fuente, who has decided to call up the attacker to the "La Roja" squad.

Spanish newspaper "Sport" further reports that the player's performances have also impressed the Barcelona hierarchy, prompting them to offer him a new contract. Ferran Torres' current deal expires at the end of next season, but Robert Lewandowski's departure could elevate the Spanish international to a much more prominent role in the Catalan attack for the upcoming campaign.
