Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old forward for FC Barcelona (under contract until 2027) and Spain, has been linked to Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window, as the prospect of a contract extension has faded. According to journalists Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto (Marca), an agreement between PSG and Barça is very close, with official negotiations having launched yesterday via a formal €50 million offer.
Fabrizio Romano:
Matteo Moretto:
Ferran Torres is on the verge of signing with Paris Saint-Germain. The French club has submitted an official offer of around €50 million to Barça, and an agreement between the two clubs is close. The player has already had an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain for some time. The final transfer fee is influenced by the fact that Ferran Torres’s contract with FC Barcelona is nearing its end.
These are reliable journalists, so one can hope their claims are based on solid information. Many media outlets reported on this much-discussed offer yesterday, though the figures varied between €40 million and €50 million, with an agreement appearing somewhat plausible. However, nothing is certain just yet.
An agreement between Barça and PSG does seem quite possible, given the player’s contract situation and an offer attractive enough to spark concrete negotiations—especially if the player has indeed informed the Barcelona board of his desire to sign with Paris. While this point is credible, it is not official, which calls for a degree of caution.
The move to Paris could happen quickly, though one cannot rule out a twist involving Ferran Torres signing a contract extension with Barcelona. Nothing in the transfer market is certain until it is official. At the very least, we can expect concrete developments soon, as the Spanish international is due to resume training this Wednesday.
