Barcelona close to losing Ferran Torres to PSG

Barcelona may be about to lose another forward this summer, with Spanish reports indicating Ferran Torres is closing in on a move to Paris Saint-Germain. According to the source, the deal is being discussed at around €50 million, which would mark another significant change in Barcelona’s attacking options after Robert Lewandowski’s departure.

PSG move gathers pace

The report says Torres is on the verge of joining PSG, the winners of the Champions League in each of the last two seasons. It adds that talks between Barcelona and the French club have been ongoing for several days and are being handled discreetly by sporting directors Deco and Luis Campos.

There is also said to be a clear desire from the player’s side to make the switch to Paris. The same report states that Torres has already reached an agreement with PSG over a four-year contract, leaving the clubs to settle the final terms.

Barcelona facing another attacking exit

Torres’ potential departure would come after Lewandowski left Barcelona earlier this summer. The Poland striker, whose contract was not renewed, later joined Chicago Fire, bringing an end to his time with the Spanish champions.

If Torres also leaves, Barcelona would be parting with another important attacking player during the same transfer window. The source presents the move as advanced, although it stresses that the final agreement between the clubs is still being negotiated.

Fee and final details still under discussion

While the expected value of the transfer is put at around €50 million, the report notes that the final fee and any add-ons remain under discussion. It also suggests that all parties want the move completed quickly so that Torres does not have to return to training with Barcelona.

That points to a deal entering its decisive phase, even if it has not yet been formally concluded. For Barcelona, the transfer would bring in a substantial fee. For PSG, it would add a Spain international attacker who remained productive last season.

Torres' numbers underline his value

Torres made 45 appearances for Barcelona last season, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists. Those figures help explain why PSG are pushing to complete the move and why Barcelona stand to receive a sizeable sum if the agreement is finalised.

• Club involved: FC Barcelona
• Potential destination: PSG
• Reported fee: around €50 million
• Proposed contract: four years
• Last-season record: 45 matches, 20 goals, 3 assists

For now, the transfer remains at the negotiation stage. But based on the reporting in Spain, Barcelona are edging closer to another major summer exit.
