Ferran Torres nearing Paris Saint-Germain move after World Cup final heroics
The Paris Saint-Germain summer transfer market is heating up with Ferran Torres, the World Cup final scorer for Spain, on the verge of joining the club. Barcelona demands €50 million, while Paris has set a two-week deadline for the move to finalize.
Paris Saint-Germain is set to welcome a new striker this summer, and it’s no minor signing. Ferran Torres, the Barcelona forward who scored in the World Cup final for Spain, has become Luis Enrique’s top priority to replace Gonçalo Ramos, who is joining AC Milan. The French champions are racing against time to secure his signature before the transfer window closes.
Transfer date already set as Barcelona fights to keep their star
Barcelona has set a demanding price tag of €50 million to open negotiations for Torres. Reports suggest Paris Saint-Germain has already penciled in a transfer date within the next two weeks, as they simultaneously pursue other targets like French internationals Lucas Digne and Maghnes Akliouche.
The 24-year-old forward, once criticized in Spain and sidelined by his club, now sees a golden opportunity with the reigning European champions. Torres, who began his career at Valencia before moving to Barcelona in 2022—after a brief stint at Manchester City—has amassed 208 appearances and 65 goals for the Catalan side in La Liga.
