Barcelona insists Ferran Torres stays unless he requests a move
Barcelona says the 26-year-old forward will only be sold if he personally asks to leave, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona's pursuit of a new striker has shifted to retaining Ferran Torres, whose contract runs until 2027. Although the Spanish forward has not yet secured an extension, the club, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano, will only consider a transfer if Torres verbally expresses a desire to depart. Barcelona regard him as essential to Hansi Flick's project following Robert Lewandowski's departure and plan to open formal renewal discussions after the new La Liga season begins.
Torres has hinted that the club must demonstrate its commitment to keep him beyond 2027, while Paris Saint-Germain remains interested. The Catalan side hopes to resolve the matter before the summer window closes.
Why it matters
The decision will shape Barcelona's attacking options and influence the summer transfer market.
