Ferran Torres' Possible PSG Transfer Triggers Barcelona's Hunt for a New Striker
Paris Saint‑Germain have opened formal talks with FC Barcelona to accelerate the signing of Spanish forward Ferran Torres, whose contract runs until June 2027. The French club sees Torres as a priority to replace the departing Gonçalo Ramos and is optimistic about reaching an agreement quickly.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed that the team must recruit a new centre‑forward after Robert Lewandowski’s move to MLS and the uncertainty surrounding Torres’ future. Flick said the club is evaluating internal options such as Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, but a proven striker remains essential. He also noted that the decision will depend on how the market evolves in the coming weeks.
Luis Enrique, Barcelona’s sporting director, has expressed strong interest in Torres for PSG, highlighting the player’s versatility after his goal in the 2026 World Cup final. Barcelona’s hierarchy appears ready to negotiate a sale, while PSG aims to finalize the deal within the week.
