Ferran Torres has opened the door to a move to Paris Saint Germain, but this is still at the offer stage. Barcelona are expecting PSG to submit an official bid in the coming days and will only sell if the money is strong enough. PSG are also trying to get it done before Spain’s international players return to pre-season training next week.
Barcelona's price line
Torres has not hidden his position. Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "I have a contract with Barcelona but, in football, you never know. We are waiting to make the right decision. Right now, all I know is that I have to be in training for Barcelona on 12 August. Let's see what happens." He added: "Show me they want me, come to negotiate."
That leaves Barcelona in a fairly simple place. They are willing to sell only if a significant offer arrives, and the asking price is reported to be at least €50 million. Barcelona have also told Torres that contract talks will not begin until September because of salary cap restrictions, and he is in the final year of his deal.
Barcelona are negotiating from strength, not need. They finished top of La Liga in 2025 with 94 points and 95 goals, so there is no obvious pressure to accept the first decent bid that lands.
PSG's push and the wider market
PSG are the likeliest destination if this does move quickly. Their 2025 league title, plus 76 points in Ligue 1, tells you they are offering an elite project rather than a sideways step. Torres also made it clear that interest of this kind matters to him, saying: "Every time these teams want you it's a good thing. You never know because in football everything can change in one minute, so I have to be ready for everything."
Arsenal are still hovering in the background, though the reporting there is mixed. One view is that Arsenal have reached out to Torres’ representatives to stay informed on his situation, while another is that they are simply tracking him from afar. PSG still look ahead of everyone else, but Barcelona have not shifted their line, and the deal only moves if the bid matches it.
