Barcelona forward 80% likely to leave amid PSG, Real Madrid rumours, claims journalist

Barcelona forward 80% likely to leave amid PSG, Real Madrid rumours, claims journalist The future of Ferran Torres has become the biggest talking point at Barcelona lately, with the forward is facing an uncertain situation at the club. Ferran’s contract expires at the end of next season and there has been no shortage of suitors, with Paris Saint-Germain among the clubs interested in his services. However, the biggest surprise came yesterday when Real Madrid were shockingly linked with a move for the Barcelona attacker. Ferran not joining Real Madrid this summer Journalist David Bernabeu though, has added more clarity on Ferran’s future, confirming that he is not indeed joining Real Madrid. What’s in store for Ferran’s future?

That said, Bernabeu claims the current ratio surrounding Ferran’s future is 80% in favour of a departure and only 20% for him staying, painting a bleak picture for those hoping that the Spain international remains in Catalonia. The options facing Barcelona are stark. Either they renew his contract now or they sell him this summer, because the club simply cannot afford to let a player of his value walk away for free in a year’s time without receiving any compensation. Why a renewal looks complicated The wider reporting from SPORT underlines just how difficult an extension has become . The emergence of PSG and other interested clubs caught Barcelona off guard, with the Catalans having been confident of Ferran’s desire to stay. Ferran is a target for PSG.

Any renewal would involve freezing his salary and maintaining his existing role, terms that pale in comparison to the financial and sporting package PSG have offered, made all the more tempting by the presence of Luis Enrique. Ferran is also understood to have been hurt by the club’s hesitancy and by never being viewed as a genuine option for the starting striker role, with Julian Alvarez commanding both the headlines and the resources. For now, the ball rests firmly in Ferran’s court.
