Ferran Torres transfer saga heats up as PSG pressures player and rivals eye move
Paris Saint‑Germain have intensified pressure on Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, urging him to decide on his future as the summer transfer window closes. The French club warned that if Torres does not give a clear response soon, they may abandon the pursuit and turn to alternative targets, including Belgian forward Charles De Ketelaere.
Barcelona have indicated they will open renewal talks with Torres in September and have reportedly set a €50 million price tag for any sale. The Catalan side remain keen to retain the 26‑year‑old, whose contract runs until June 2027, but financial constraints could force a move.
Interest in Torres extends beyond PSG. English clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, as well as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, have been reported to monitor the situation closely, with Tottenham actively exploring a signing. The growing list of suitors adds complexity to Barcelona’s negotiations and could shape the player’s next destination.
