Barcelona star called Flick to inform he wants PSG move as talks over €50m deal underway According to Gerard Romero of Jijantes , FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has personally called head coach Hansi Flick to inform him of his desire to leave the club and complete a permanent transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old Spain international has made his definitive choice to move to the French capital, prompting Barça and PSG to enter direct, active negotiations to finalise the transfer fee. Personal terms agreed on four-year deal The transfer has moved rapidly over the last 24 hours after Torres fully agreed to personal contract terms with the Ligue 1 champions. Indeed, as previously reported and now confirmed by multiple reliable sources, the forward has accepted a proposed four-year contract that will tie him to the Parc des Princes until June 2030.

And, the concrete sporting project presented by the French club, alongside the opportunity to reunite with Luis Enrique, successfully convinced the forward to sanction the move. To maintain full transparency and ensure an amicable exit, Ferran initiated the direct phone call to Flick to explain his situation and confirm his mind was made up. €50 million fee With the player’s green light firmly secured, Barcelona and PSG are locked in official negotiations to settle the financial parameters of the deal.

What remains to be seen is whether Barcelona decide to pursue another striker, apart from Julian Alvarez, in order to replace Ferran. A deal for the Atletico Madrid superstar is already proving to be difficult. With Robert Lewandowski having already left and Ferran on the verge of an exit, Barça are staring at the risk of starting the new season without a natural striker in the squad.
