- Ferran Torres is open to joining PSG as Barcelona considers the forward's future ahead of his contract expiry.
PSG step-up pursuit of Ferran Torres
Paris Saint-Germain wants to advance the negotiations to sign Ferran Torres from Barcelona in this transfer window, according to Mateo Moretto. The Parisians have held discussions with the player’s camp after the heroic World Cup campaign of Ferran Torres, and he is open for a move to the French capital as his Barcelona contract is set to expire next summer.
According to SPORT, Torres has become increasingly open to a move after Barcelona made little progress on discussions over a new contract even after the World Cup. Torres became the hero of the nation after scoring the winning goal in the World Cup final against Argentina.
What Hansi Flick has said about the forward
Hansi Flick is happy with Ferran and wants him on the team for next season. In a recent press brief, Flick responded to playing with a false 9 in the 2026-27 season, and then the manager responded, "It depends on the team. I have a lot of confidence in Deco. We know we have to do something. It also depends on Ferran Torres. We’ll see.”
Latest Comments from Ferran
Asked about his future in an interview with NBC Sports, Torres said: “I have a contract with Barcelona, but in football you NEVER know. I'm waiting to make the right decision. I still don't know.”
On his dream club: “Yes, I have a dream club. I just want to be happy.”
Barcelona's stance on a potential transfer
Barcelona is reportedly set to allow a transfer for Ferran Torres if the player requests it, but it has yet to happen in the saga. Ferran Correa already reported that Barcelona is not worried about the striker market and set to use other forward options, including Antony Gordon, Adeyemi, and Dani Olmo, in that role.
Why PSG see Torres as a priority signing
The 26-year-old striker became a priority for the back-to-back European champions to replace Gonzalo Ramos on the team following his departure to AC Milan as the most expensive player of the Rossoneri.
Ferran featured in 45 matches for Barcelona last season and contributed 20 goals and 3 assists for the team.
PSG are expected to open club-to-club talks with Barcelona in the coming days as they attempt to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes.
