  • Barcelona forward Ferran Torres wants to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
  • Torres has one year left on his contract and Barcelona will not block a move if PSG agrees to a transfer fee.
  • Barcelona is looking for a new No. 9 to replace Torres and Robert Lewandowski, with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez a top target.

Ferran Torres has informed Barcelona of his desire to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to ESPN. The 26-year-old forward has one year remaining on his contract with the Catalan club. Barcelona is reportedly willing to let him go if PSG meets their valuation, and negotiations are expected to begin soon.

Torres' potential departure could accelerate Barcelona's search for a new center forward. Robert Lewandowski has already moved to MLS club Chicago Fire. Barcelona is reportedly targeting Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez to fill the void left by both Lewandowski and Torres. However, Atletico Madrid is reluctant to part with Alvarez, forcing Barcelona to explore other options.

Barcelona signed Torres from Manchester City in 2021 for approximately 55 million euros. Initially a winger, he has transitioned to a central striker under coach Hansi Flick. Last season, Torres impressed with 21 goals in 49 appearances, an increase from the previous season's 19 goals in 45 games. He has scored 65 goals in 207 appearances over five seasons with Barcelona. Torres also recently helped the Spanish national team win the World Cup, scoring the lone goal in the final against Argentina in extra time in July 2026.
