Paris Saint-Germain are considering a move for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, according to Sky Sports Italia, as they prepare for potential departures in their attacking line. The French champions are currently focused on securing replacements for Gonçalo Ramos, who has joined AC Milan, and Lee Kang-in, who is expected to move to Atlético Madrid.
Torres, 26, is reportedly highly regarded by both PSG manager Luis Enrique and the club’s sporting director, despite currently being with the Spanish national team at the World Cup. His current contract with Barcelona runs until 2027, and any potential move to Paris appears contingent on an exit from the PSG squad.
Bradley Barcola is the player most likely to make way, with contract renewal talks currently stalled. Negotiations with the 21-year-old, formerly of Lyon, have been paused while he is on international duty with France in the United States. With two years remaining on his current deal, PSG are reportedly seeking a fee of €150 million for Barcola, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich all expressing interest.
Torres offers a different profile to Barcola, operating primarily as a centre-forward rather than a winger. The Spaniard enjoyed a productive season with Barcelona, scoring 16 goals in 33 La Liga appearances. PSG are exploring multiple options should Barcola depart, ensuring they are prepared for various scenarios in the transfer window.
This potential move signals PSG’s intent to reshape their attack following the sales of Ramos and the anticipated departure of Kang-in, while also potentially capitalizing on Barcola’s high market value. Securing Torres would provide Enrique with a proven goalscorer and a player familiar with his tactical system.
