Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old forward for FC Barcelona (under contract until 2027) and the Spanish national team, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window. However, there has been no concrete confirmation yet, and doubts are beginning to creep in. Sport provided an update this Monday, asserting that PSG fully intends to wrap up this signing soon.
“they believe the move for the Barcelona forward is well on track.”
PSG’s two clear targets are Ferran Torres and Monaco winger Akliouche, with whom they already have an agreement in place. The French club aims to secure Ferran’s approval in the coming days before launching a formal bid with Barça, and they believe the move for the Barcelona forward is well on track.
PSG initiated contact with Torres after finalizing the sale of Gonçalo Ramos to Milan. Luis Enrique wanted him as an option for the number nine role, and the player was open to leaving Barça. In the coming days, the financial terms will need to be fine-tuned to finalize an agreement and proceed with the transfer negotiations with Barça.
“the decision rests with the player,”
PSG is prepared to offer him a four-year contract with a salary increase over what he currently earns at Barça. While the Blaugrana club wants to keep him, any contract renewal and extension would have to wait until September, and the financial terms would be more modest. Ultimately, the decision rests with the player, but PSG is confident of winning this battle, as Ferran has shown interest in a change of scenery. Luis Enrique’s presence as the Parisian coach—and his long-term commitment to the club—has given the player and his camp compelling reasons to make the move.
Nothing here is impossible, given that PSG’s interest in Torres has been reported by several media outlets and makes sense. He is a talented, experienced, and versatile forward. He knows coach Luis Enrique very well, having made his international debut under him when Enrique was in charge of the Spanish national team. If there is interest, it is no coincidence.
However, nothing is certain yet. Could the Spanish forward really embark on a new challenge where he risks being a backup? Alternatively, like him, one might view it as an opportunity to secure a starting spot at a major club, given that Luis Enrique values competition. We must wait and see—as is often the case with PSG during the transfer window. Things could accelerate quickly once training resumes this Monday.
