The Spanish striker has agreed personal terms with the Parisian club, with decisive negotiations expected soon. Barcelona is holding firm on the price, while PSG aims to leverage the contract expiring in 2027.
Barcelona expects to receive an initial official offer from Paris Saint-Germain for Spanish striker Ferran Torres imminently. According to Fabrizio Romano, Torres's camp and PSG have already informed the Catalan club of a verbal agreement on personal terms, giving the transfer concrete shape.
Although the player is ready to leave, the price remains the key obstacle. According to Spanish outlet Sport, as reported by Goal.com, Barcelona is demanding at least €65 million for Torres. The Camp Nou club believes this figure aligns with current market rates for forwards, especially after Torres's impressive performances at the last World Cup.
The Catalans plan to use the sale proceeds to fund the arrival of one or two attackers to fill the void left by his departure. Interestingly, Barcelona was initially reluctant to sell Torres before finding an adequate replacement, but the player's desire to move has shifted the board's stance.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain has no intention of paying the asking price. Torres's contract with Barcelona runs until June 30, 2027, and the Parisians see this as a strong negotiating lever. They estimate that having only one season left on the deal gives them ample room to significantly reduce the transfer fee.
The current market value of the Spanish international is estimated at around €55 million. PSG could reach that figure through a combination of a fixed fee and bonuses, which would allow Barcelona to recoup the money they invested when they paid Manchester City in 2021.
Negotiations could be accelerated thanks to the excellent relationship between the two clubs' sporting directors. Deco on Barcelona's side and Luis Campos of PSG share a long-standing friendship, and this connection could play a crucial role in reaching an agreement within days.
Torres has clearly expressed his desire to leave Camp Nou and move to the French league, and now it's up to PSG to submit the first official offer. Whether Barcelona manages to secure the requested €65 million or agrees to a lower figure will depend on the negotiations that follow.
