Ferran Torres only has one year left on his contract!

At 26, Torres enters the final year of his Barcelona contract, and according to the same insider, the Catalan giants are prepared to let him leave—provided they reach a financial compromise with PSG.

With that green light, negotiations between the two sides are anticipated to kick off shortly, as Barça currently await an initial bid from the reigning consecutive European champions.

For now, Torres is still enjoying his downtime, having recently netted the match-clinching goal in the World Cup final against Argentina—a strike that sealed Spain’s triumph just last month.

Ferran Torres hinted at leaving Barcelona

During a promotional visit to the United States last week, the 26-year-old forward dropped strong hints about his willingness to depart Barcelona when the summer window opens.

That speculation has now been reinforced by a source close to the player, confirming that his preferred destination is Paris Saint-Germain—where he would reunite with Luis Enrique, the coach who previously guided him during his time with the Spanish national squad.

Should Torres pack his bags for the French capital, Barça would find themselves accelerating their search for a classic centre-forward, especially after Robert Lewandowski's move to the Chicago Fire left a void up front.

ESPN has previously indicated that Julián Álvarez tops the Catalan club's wishlist, though Atlético Madrid's firm stance against parting with the Argentine may push Barcelona to consider alternative targets.

Torres first arrived at Camp Nou from Manchester City in 2021, costing roughly €55 million, and was initially deployed out wide. Over time, however, he has evolved into a more central attacking presence, often vying with Lewandowski for the striker role under Hansi Flick's system.

His goal return has been steady—21 strikes across 49 appearances last season, following a campaign in which he found the net 19 times in 45 outings.
