Ferran Torres nears move to Paris Saint-Germain after World Cup final strike
The summer transfer window is heating up with Paris Saint-Germain targeting Ferran Torres, the Barcelona forward who scored the winning goal in the World Cup final for Spain.
The Parisian club is on the verge of completing a major signing this transfer window. Ferran Torres, the Barcelona attacker whose extra-time strike secured Spain’s World Cup triumph, has emerged as Luis Enrique’s top target to bolster PSG’s frontline. The move comes as a strategic response to Gonçalo Ramos’ anticipated departure to AC Milan, leaving a void at the center of attack.
Transfer timeline set, Barcelona fights to keep their star
Barcelona has set an asking price of €50 million to commence negotiations for Torres’ services. While the Catalan club remains hesitant to part ways, PSG has already penciled in a transfer date within the next fortnight. The French champions are also advancing talks with other World Cup-winning French internationals, Lucas Digne and Maghnes Akliouche, as part of a broader squad overhaul.
Once a polarizing figure in Spain, criticized for his inconsistency, Torres appears eager to embrace a fresh start in the French capital. The Valencia-born forward joined Barcelona in 2022 after a brief stint at Manchester City, amassing 208 appearances and 65 goals across all competitions for the La Liga giants.
