Barcelona and Ferran Torres are in a waiting game over his future. There has been no direct contact so far between Deco and Ferran Torres’s representatives over either a renewal or a possible exit, and his current contract runs to 2027. PSG remain the strongest suitors in the background, but Torres is making it clear that Barcelona need to move first.

Barcelona's standoff over a renewal

Torres was blunt about the order of things. "Barcelona have to show they want me. They can come and negotiate, and in the end, everything will be discussed," he told barcauniversal.com. He also said, "Right now, the only thing I know is that on August 12 I have to be there and train with them, so we'll see what happens."

That is not the language of a player shutting the door. It is a forward who is still reporting back to Barcelona, but who is also leaving room for a change if the situation shifts quickly. His line that "you never know because in football everything can change in a minute" fits the mood around this one.

PSG's appeal and Barcelona's decision

Paris Saint Germain are described as the clearest alternative, with Luis Enrique keen on a reunion. Torres has also said that interest from clubs like that is "something good," and he added that he is thinking about what will make him happiest for himself and his family.

The fit is easy to see from PSG's side. They collected 14 points in 8 Champions League matches in 2025 and scored 21 goals in those games. Barcelona, meanwhile, finished top of La Liga in 2025 with 94 points and scored 95 league goals, so this is not a squad that needs emergency surgery. The real call is whether they want to keep attacking depth or let the situation drift until the market starts to shape it for them.

Torres has more than enough value to make Barcelona pause, but he is not giving them a free run either. PSG remain the strongest suitors, he is open to movement, and the first concrete step still belongs to Barcelona.
