PSG’s interest in Ferran Torres
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly prioritising a move for Barcelona’s Ferran Torres. This development follows PSG’s decision to withdraw their interest in Yan Diomande, who is now anticipated to join Real Madrid. According to reports, PSG aims to acquire Torres and Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche this summer, while planning to offload Bradley Barcola and Kolo Muani.
PSG has reportedly engaged in discussions with Ferran Torres and intends to finalise an agreement in the coming days. A four-year contract offer is said to be on the table, with PSG prepared to offer a more financially attractive package than Barcelona. Despite this, Barcelona has stated that they have not received any indication from Torres, his representatives, or PSG regarding a potential departure.
Barcelona’s stance on contract renewal
The future of Ferran Torres remains a significant topic for Barcelona, particularly as his current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027. Barcelona is keen to extend Torres’s contract but is not planning to present a new offer until September. The club is not expected to match the financial terms reportedly offered by PSG.
Barcelona acknowledges that Torres deserves a new deal, but any offer will be made within the club’s financial capabilities. The club is not prepared to make excessive concessions or offer exaggerated terms to retain him. Torres is expected to meet with the club’s hierarchy soon to initiate discussions regarding his future.
The club values Torres’s performance under the German coach and with the Spanish national team, which will be considered in the new contract proposal. However, the board believes their offer might not compete with those from other major European clubs.
Torres’s recent performance and club importance
Ferran Torres is currently on an extended vacation after helping Spain secure the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He is not scheduled to return to Ciutat Esportiva until August 10. His recent achievements include scoring the winning goal in the World Cup final, where he was one of the standout players for Spain throughout the tournament.
During the 2025-2026 season, Torres had a productive spell with Barcelona, featuring in 49 matches, scoring 21 goals, and providing 3 assists. He also received the “Zarra” award as the best Spanish top scorer in the league, finishing with 16 goals, level with teammate Lamine Yamal. His strong performance at the World Cup has further elevated his profile.
Barcelona continues to view the 26-year-old as an important asset and is determined to proceed with a contract renewal. This includes being willing to pay the €8 million owed to Manchester City, as stipulated in the January 2022 transfer agreement. The club’s plan is to finalise the deal in September, after the summer transfer window closes, for financial fair play considerations.
The club’s stance is clear: if Ferran Torres wishes to depart this summer, the initiative must come from him. Barcelona will not pressure him to leave and intends to proceed with the renewal unless he requests a move. The final decision regarding his future rests with Torres, who is currently enjoying his time off after his success in the World Cup final.
