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 during this transfer window. In the last few hours, several media outlets have reported that the player has chosen PSG over waiting for a potential contract extension at Barça. This has been confirmed by L’Équipe and Le Parisien.
L’Équipe:
As reported by Marca—information we are able to confirm—Ferran Torres could soon become a PSG player, having already agreed on a five-year contract with the club. The FC Barcelona forward, who scored the only goal in the World Cup final, has communicated his decision to his club’s management; they must now reach an agreement with Paris regarding the transfer fee. Negotiations are at an advanced stage, though no deal has been finalized yet.
Le Parisien:
According to a report by the Spanish daily Marca—picked up by L’Équipe and confirmed by us—the Spanish “hero” has reportedly agreed to join the capital club for the next five seasons.
There have been numerous confirmations regarding Ferran Torres giving the green light to PSG, suggesting there is likely substance to the story—even if that alone doesn’t guarantee the transfer will be completed. “Only” an agreement between the clubs is missing, though that is a crucial step.
This is especially significant given the rivalry between Barça and PSG, which has intensified both on the pitch and in the transfer market over the past few years. Nevertheless, a move remains plausible, particularly given the contractual situation that is putting pressure on Barcelona. Furthermore, the substantial fee involved—reportedly around €50 million—could prove very useful for the club.
