Ferran Torres has been given permission to stay away from Barcelona training while negotiations continue, which is the clearest sign yet that Paris Saint-Germain’s move is progressing well beyond early interest. A package worth roughly €50m plus €5m in add-ons is still being finalised, and if it goes through, PSG would land a proven goalscorer as they rebuild their forward depth.
- PSG are discussing a package of around €50m plus €5m in add-ons for Ferran Torres.
- Final talks with Barcelona still need to be completed before anything can be announced.
- PSG want another attacker after Gonçalo Ramos joined AC Milan and Randal Kolo Muani completed a permanent move to Juventus.
PSG’s Pursuit of Ferran Torres
PSG are going all in for Ferran Torres because their attacking options have thinned out this summer. Gonçalo Ramos left for AC Milan in a €74m move, while Randal Kolo Muani joined Juventus for €41m, with clauses that could push that fee beyond €50m. PSG have lost depth up front and still need another reliable goal threat.
Torres looks like a smart addition on that front. He scored 16 goals and added two assists in 33 La Liga appearances during the 2025 season, then chipped in again in Europe with two goals in the Champions League league phase, a goal and an assist in the Champions League play-offs, and another goal in the Copa del Rey. That is a pretty strong recent return as PSG try to reshape their attack quickly.
Barcelona’s Position in the Talks
Barcelona are not under pressure to rush this through because Torres is under contract until 30 June 2027. That gives them leverage while the final details are still being worked on, which is why the €55m figure should still be treated as a package under discussion rather than a settled fee.
Allowing Torres to miss training shows how advanced the talks have become, but it still stops short of official confirmation. The club-to-club agreement has not been completed yet, and Barcelona would have a real decision to make in the market if he leaves because they may need another central attacking option.
What Ferran Torres Would Bring to PSG
Torres would give PSG a forward who arrives with real momentum instead of just reputation. His 16 La Liga goals came in a Barcelona side that scored 95 times in the 2025 league season, so he was contributing in a high-level attack rather than padding numbers in a struggling team.
He also gives them a useful mix in the final third. Torres can combine in short passing moves, hold his position, and then burst into space behind the defence, which should make him a handy option as PSG rebuild their front line. His recent Spain involvement includes a goal in the 1-0 World Cup final win over Argentina and an assist against Portugal during the 2026 tournament.
Final Talks and Next Steps
A five-year agreement with PSG has been discussed for Torres, but that remains separate from the unfinished club-to-club process.
If the deal is completed, PSG would be adding a forward who hit double figures in La Liga at exactly the moment they need to refresh their attacking depth.
