Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly not focusing its entire attacking recruitment strategy on Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old FC Barcelona forward. According to Sport, Luis Campos has begun exploring other profiles—a sign that the Parisian club wants to keep its options open during a transfer window where no single lead appears sufficiently advanced yet.
Paris puts pressure on Ferran Torres
« Paris Saint-Germain has asked Ferran Torres to clarify his future as soon as possible. The Parisian club wants to know if the FC Barcelona forward is willing to join Luis Enrique’s project, without dragging out negotiations all summer. »
A top priority, but other leads exist
« Ferran is PSG’s top choice, but Luis Campos is already working on other alternatives. Charles De Ketelaere is among the candidates, alongside a third—as yet unknown—name, as Paris does not want to be held hostage by the Spanish player’s decision. »
This information should be viewed primarily as an indication of Paris’s modus operandi rather than an announcement of a shift in priorities. No alternative names, offers, or specific stages of negotiation have been disclosed. PSG may simply be seeking to avoid over-reliance on the Ferran Torres deal, which remains contingent on FC Barcelona’s stance and the player’s own wishes.
During the transfer window, considering multiple profiles also helps maintain leverage and prevents the club from getting stuck on a single deal. This has been the approach since the Portuguese director’s arrival in Paris. He knows what he is doing—operating differently from the standards of other clubs—which is precisely why the strategy can sometimes be baffling to supporters.
