Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as potential suitors for Spain international Ferran Torres this summer, according to reports. The Barcelona forward has attracted attention following Spain’s recent success at the World Cup, and also due to a recent social media post that sparked considerable debate.
Torres recently wore a red cap emblazoned with “Make Spain Great Again” during the celebrations of Spain’s World Cup victory, leading to speculation about his political leanings. While interpretations vary, the gesture has garnered attention from figures including former US President Donald Trump, who expressed his appreciation for the apparent homage to his “Make America Great Again” slogan, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
The 24-year-old Torres currently plays for Barcelona, having joined the club in December 2021 from Manchester City for a reported fee of €55 million. His time at the Camp Nou has been productive, though not without competition for places, and he contributed a crucial goal in the recent World Cup final. He has made 103 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 14 goals.
According to sources, Trump views Torres as a supporter of the MAGA movement, further elevating the player's profile. This attention, combined with his performances on the pitch, has reportedly drawn the interest of PSG as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season. The French champions are undergoing a period of transition under new management and are actively seeking to reshape their squad.
Torres’s versatility, capable of playing as a winger or a centre-forward, would offer PSG coach Luis Enrique tactical flexibility. The potential move aligns with PSG’s strategy of acquiring high-profile players to strengthen their position in both domestic and European competitions. While a fee has not yet been disclosed, Barcelona may be open to a sale to generate funds and streamline their squad. The transfer could provide Torres with a new challenge and an opportunity to further showcase his talent on one of Europe’s biggest stages.
