Spanish footballers Pau Torres and Ferran Torres plan summer exits

Aston Villa centre‑back Pau Torres has said he intends to see out his contract and leave on a free transfer in the summer of 2028, returning to his boyhood club Villarreal so the Spanish side will not have to pay a fee. He confirmed the plan in interviews, noting he has two years remaining on his deal.

Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has reportedly told the club he wants to leave, with interest from Paris Saint‑Germain and the possibility of a move to Atletico Madrid being discussed. His departure could affect Barcelona’s pursuit of Julian Álvarez, as a transfer to a rival could smooth the deal. Torres remains keen to continue at Barcelona but is weighing his options ahead of the summer window.
