Ferran Torres' future with Barcelona has entered a decisive phase, after press reports revealed that Paris Saint-Germain is close to reaching an agreement with the player in preparation for signing him during the summer transfer window.

According to the French website Foot Mercato, Ferran Torres has informed those close to him of his approval to move to Paris Saint-Germain, while negotiations between the two parties are proceeding positively, with an attempt to reach a final agreement expected next week before official negotiations with Barcelona begin.
In contrast, Barcelona is insisting on retaining its player and has informed Ferran of its desire to renew his contract, which expires in the summer of 2027, although the salary cap crisis is delaying official negotiations until next September.
The report indicated that Luis Enrique played a key role in convincing Ferran Torres to move to Paris Saint-Germain, leveraging the strong relationship between them since their time working together with the Spanish national team.
The Spanish coach promised his player a starting role in Paris Saint-Germain's project, something he lacked at Barcelona, as he did not receive full trust from coach Hans Flick despite the levels he showed during the past season.
The reports clarified that the French club postponed finalizing the deal until completing the outgoing players' files, after Gonzalo Ramos left for Milan, while Randal Kolo Muani is close to moving to Juventus, with ongoing possibilities of Bradley Barcola's departure to Liverpool.
Once these deals are completed, Paris Saint-Germain will begin its official moves to secure the signing of Ferran Torres, who is the primary target to bolster the attacking line.
If Ferran Torres departs, Barcelona will be forced to sign a new striker, as Argentine Julián Álvarez remains the preferred option for the Catalan club, despite negotiations stalling due to Atlético Madrid's refusal to let him go.
