According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona star Ferran Torres has emerged as a top summer transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), should Bradley Barcola leave the French capital.
Contract renewal talks between Bradley Barcola and the PSG management have been locked in a complex stalemate for months. With no breakthrough in sight, the young forward is reportedly exploring other options to guarantee consistent regular playing time.
The Spanish newspaper highlights that PSG’s management views Torres as their ideal choice to fill the void if Barcola departs. A key driving factor behind this interest is the exceptional relationship between the Spanish attacker and PSG manager Luis Enrique.
Torres enjoyed some of the finest moments of his career under Luis Enrique during their time with the Spain national team. Furthermore, considering his current contract with Barça expires in the summer of 2027, he would likely represent a highly cost-effective option for the French giants.
