Ferran Torres' Barcelona future amid PSG interest and contract talks
FC Barcelona has repeatedly stated that Ferran Torres is not for sale, despite growing interest from Paris Saint‑Germain. The Spanish forward’s contract runs until June 2027 and the club has indicated it may offer an extension without a salary increase. Barcelona values Torres at roughly €55 million and would only negotiate a transfer if the player formally requests it. Reports say Torres has told teammates he wants to leave, and PSG have been in contact with both the player’s representatives and Barcelona, with negotiations expected to start within the next week. The outcome will determine whether the World Cup‑winning striker remains at Camp Nou or moves to Ligue 1.
Barcelona’s stance is reinforced by sporting director Deco and coach Hansi Flick, who consider Torres a key part of their attacking plans. PSG’s pursuit is driven by the striker’s World Cup heroics and the club’s need for a versatile forward, but no official bid has been submitted yet.
