Ferran Torres has said that he is looking forward to enjoying "many magical nights at Camp Nou" in 2023, with the attacker seemingly ruling out a move away from Barcelona in January.

The 22-year-old's future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with a number of clubs believed to be keeping a close eye on his situation in Spain.

A recent report claimed that Tottenham Hotspur were lining up an offer for the Spain international.

Meanwhile, it is understood that Arsenal are also interested, as the Gunners attempt to bring a new forward to the Emirates Stadium before the end of the January transfer window.

However, Torres appears to have ruled out a mid-season move away from Barcelona.

"Here's to a 2023 with many magical nights at Camp Nou with our fans," Torres told Sport when asked about his wishes for the new year.

Torres has been a regular for Barcelona during the 2022-23 campaign, making 20 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and registering one assist.

The forward has only managed two goals in 14 La Liga outings, though, and he has been named in the starting XI in the league on just six occasions during the current season.

Torres, who has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2027, previously played in the Premier League for Manchester City, scoring 16 goals and registering four assists in 43 appearances for the club between 2020 and 2022.

As well as Tottenham and Arsenal, AC Milan have been credited with an interest in the forward, who was a part of the Spain squad at the 2022 World Cup.

Torres played 60 minutes of Barcelona's 4-3 win over Intercity in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, with the Catalan outfit needing extra-time to beat the third-tier outfit.

"I'm satisfied with the game, with our team. We know what the cup is like, the rivals are extra-motivated, everything costs, we have made the game difficult for ourselves," Barcelona boss Xavi told reporters after the match.

"We have been playing well but we are still lacking effectiveness. In general terms, I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied with the game, but we lacked effectiveness. We need to be more effective both in defense and in attack to decide the games."

"Intercity it's a team from a lower category and we had to dominate the game, we did it, but we suffered too much, we have to close the games earlier, it's the same as against Espanyol."

Torres could be an option to start at centre-forward against Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Sunday evening, as Robert Lewandowski is suspended for the Catalan side. body check tags ::
