Match-winning moment leaves Barcelona in awkward position regarding forward’s future

Sporting director Deco has previously made it clear that he prefers not to let players enter the final year of their deals.

However, in Ferran’s case, as his contract expires in 2027, there has been no visible movement – no renewal offer, no concrete progress, and no clear direction.

That uncertainty feels even more unusual given Ferran’s profile, as he is entering his peak years.

He is well integrated into the dressing room, understands his role, and has consistently maintained a professional attitude even when not starting regularly.

A domino effect

As such, there are several theories behind the delay, and one possibility is that the club is waiting for a final decision regarding Lewandowski’s long-term future before making a move.

Another is financial, with Barcelona still going through fair play limitations that could be slowing down negotiations.

At the same time, there have been suggestions that Ferran could be included in a potential deal involving Atletico Madrid for Julian Alvarez’s transfer.

There are a lot of theories regarding the Spaniard, but for now, nothing can be said for sure.
