Ferran Torres’ future at Barcelona has taken an unforeseen turn after interest emerged from Paris Saint-Germain. The French and European champions are keen to sign the Barcelona forward and have already conducted constructive discussions with his camp. It’s well known that Luis Enrique admires Ferran; the PSG manager was among the strongest supporters of the attacker during his time with the Spanish national team and remains convinced of his abilities. Now, according to La Vanguardia, the internal message at the Catalan club regarding the 26-year-old forward is straightforward: either he signs a contract extension or he will be sold. Sources inside Barcelona acknowledge that the club’s preferred outcome is to extend Ferran’s deal, which currently runs until 2027.
Barcelona would prefer to keep Ferran. Although talks over a new contract have taken place, no agreement has been reached. Both sides decided to pause negotiations and resume discussions once Ferran’s involvement in the 2026 World Cup concludes. In addition to PSG, Ferran has drawn interest from Atletico Madrid’s sporting department. The Blaugrana have failed to reach a deal with Los Rojiblancos to sign Julian Álvarez, and it now appears that the Spanish capital club may have an interest in Ferran as well. Notably, during the World Cup, Ferran has been seen spending significant time with Atletico Madrid players Marc Pubill and Marcos Llorente, with whom he shares a strong rapport, while also reconnecting with his Barcelona teammates in Spain’s camp. For the moment, Ferran remains fully focused on Spain as they prepare to face France in the World Cup semi-finals next Tuesday.
So what lies ahead for Ferran? People close to the player say he is weighing three potential scenarios: renewing his contract with Barcelona, honoring his current deal through 2027, or leaving the club if Barça and another interested party reach a mutual agreement. Ferran’s market value is estimated at around €50 million, a figure that also reflects Barcelona’s asking price should negotiations shift toward a transfer. Barcelona has long followed a policy of renewing players who are entering the final year of their contracts unless they express a desire to depart. If Ferran decides to pursue that route, the club would be open to negotiating terms. As the situation stands, Ferran remains a central figure for Barcelona, with his future potentially shaped by a combination of contract decisions, performance, and interest from top clubs across Europe.
