The summer transfer window officially commenced on June 15th, marked by significant early moves like Anthony Gordon’s reported €80M transfer from Newcastle. As FC Barcelona anticipates the arrival of Karim Adeyemi, the club could be poised for a lucrative sale, with Paris Saint-Germain expressing considerable interest in forward Ferran Torres. This potential transfer hinges on a crucial condition set by the Catalan giants.
Ferran Torres, currently 26 years old, is representing his national team in the United States for the 2026 World Cup. He recently provided a decisive assist to Mikel Merino during their 1-0 victory over Portugal in the Round of 16. Despite his contributions, Torres’s position at FC Barcelona appears less secure. With incoming attacking talents like Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi set to bolster the Barça frontline, the Blaugrana leadership has noted the concrete interest from their counterparts at Paris Saint-Germain regarding the Spanish international.
PSG’s confirmed interest in Ferran Torres
The acquisition of Ferran Torres reportedly has the full backing of Luis Enrique, who is keen to reunite with the forward he previously coached during his tenure with the Spanish national team, which concluded after the 2022 World Cup. The PSG coach’s wish could soon materialize in the coming weeks. Indeed, FC Barcelona has been made aware of PSG’s strong interest in securing a transfer for Ferran Torres.
Barcelona demands substantial transfer fee
It is understood that PSG is fully informed of Ferran Torres’s annual earnings at Barça and anticipates no difficulties in reaching a financial agreement on personal terms with the Spanish international, should a transfer fee be agreed upon with FC Barcelona. This fee represents the pivotal point in the ongoing saga surrounding Ferran Torres. A departure is not being ruled out by the Spanish champions, but it will necessitate a “very interesting offer” from PSG for the operation to proceed. However, remaining at FC Barcelona would not pose an issue for Ferran Torres if the path to Paris Saint-Germain ultimately proves to be a dead end.
