PSG optimistic about completing deal for Barcelona forward this week – report Currently on an extended break in light of his heroics at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ferran Torres has recently made the biggest statement yet, as far as his future is concerned. While he acknowledged his contract at Barcelona, the forward admitted that nothing is certain , which many believe is a clear indicator of his desire to leave the club. This plays into the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, who are looking to leverage his contract situation and relationship with Luis Enrique to snap him up.

Ferran, after all, will be roped in as a potential replacement for Goncalo Ramos, who joined AC Milan in a permanent deal earlier in the summer. PSG are optimistic about getting the deal done and thereby putting an end to the transfer saga. The club’s optimism stems from the fact that Ferran has yet to commit his future at Barcelona. What is Barcelona’s play here? Barcelona have maintained their stance of not selling Ferran Torres this summer and instead renewing his contract. PSG are looking to speed up the Ferran deal.

If the player really wants to leave, he is free to leave the club. Hansi Flick does not want anyone, who is not too keen on being a part of the Barcelona project. However, Ferran’s potential exit will put immense pressure on Barcelona to sign Julian Alvarez or at least another number nine, as the club desperately look to sign a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. While the Ferran exit might be close, the Catalans have not made any strides in their pursuit of top target Alvarez. Other targets such as Dusan Vlahovic and Fisnik Asllani also seem to be slipping away.
