Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old forward for FC Barcelona (under contract until 2027) and the Spanish national team, has been linked to Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer window. There was even talk in recent hours of an agreement already being reached between the Spanish international and PSG. Journalist Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation, confirming the interest exists but noting that things are not quite as advanced as rumored.
Fabrizio Romano: “It’s not the only option, but there are indeed discussions with his camp.”
“We will also have to see what happens with Ferran Torres. He has one year left on his contract at FC Barcelona, and behind the scenes, Paris Saint-Germain is making inquiries about him. PSG is in contact with the player’s agents and is interested in Ferran Torres. He could be an option to replace Gonçalo Ramos following his departure, capable of covering multiple positions: number 9 and winger.
Ferran Torres is therefore an option for PSG. It’s not the only lead, but there are indeed discussions with his camp. There is movement on several fronts. We will also need to monitor Raphinha’s situation to see if he stays or leaves. However, with the potential arrivals of Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon—in addition to Rashford—there could be another departure from Barça during this summer transfer window.”
As he is a reliable journalist, we place a certain amount of trust in this report regarding the Ferran Torres link. It is a move that makes sense for PSG, involving an experienced and versatile player who could fit perfectly into coach Luis Enrique’s philosophy—a coach who frequently utilized him during his time managing the Spanish national team.
The forward has never quite managed to establish himself among the absolute elite, yet he has consistently proven to be a valuable asset for Manchester City, Barça, and Spain. That is no small feat, given the immense competition he has faced. At PSG, one could easily envision him playing a key role as a backup—not least because he is comfortable playing centrally, unlike some of the current squad members.
It is important to note that there is no advanced transfer or agreement in place yet; there is simply interest and ongoing discussion. A deal is a credible possibility, though by no means guaranteed. Developments will likely be put on hold until after the World Cup, with Spain set to face France in the semi-final on Tuesday.
