Ferran Torres, author of the goal that gave Spain the second World Cup in its history, is on a promotional tour in the United States. In an interview granted to the American program Today, on the NBC network, the Spanish international avoided guaranteeing his continuity at Barcelona. “I have a contract with Barça, but in football, you never know. I just hope to make the right decision,” he replied when asked about the team he will play for next season. Asked about what his ideal club would be, Ferran responded with a phrase as brief as it was meaningful: “To be happy.” Luis Enrique’s PSG maintains its interest in the Valencian forward, although Barcelona insists that they do not consider his departure and do consider a renewal. In any case, with a contract until June 2027, Ferran has not yet started talks with the club to extend his link. Barcelona’s intention was to address the renewal once the summer market ends in September, provided there is no unexpected turn in the coming weeks. This will not be Ferran Torres’s only interview. During his tour of the United States, which will last until next Thursday, he has scheduled others with the country’s main media outlets such as CNN.

Barcelona aspires to play in the first division of global monumental tourism. And if it has those aspirations, it’s because last February, the Sagrada Família crowned the 172.5-meter Jesus tower, the tallest of the temple that Antoni Gaudí began to build in 1882 and which, one hundred years after his death, has become one of Barcelona’s great economic and cultural drivers. “I don’t know if we are fully aware, but we now have a global icon on par with the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, or the pyramids of Egypt,” reflects the director of Turisme de Barcelona, Mateu Hernández.
The possibility of a motion of no confidence against Pedro Sánchez is once again gaining prominence in the political debate, but the difficulties in forming an alternative majority remain enormous. This is the view of Lola García, deputy director of La Vanguardia, who argues that neither Junts nor the PNV currently find an easy way out of the current situation. “What would interest them is for the current Government to be stronger and more solid, able to present budgets and not be harassed by corruption cases,” she said. In her opinion, the alternative of an Executive led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Vox as part of the equation is also not attractive to them.
