As we near the start of next season, there is much uncertainty surrounding the future of Ferran Torres.
The Barcelona forward became an overnight star for Spain after scoring in the World Cup final and is also coming on the back of a stellar campaign at Camp Nou. Now, he has become a key target for PSG heading into the new season.
Ferran’s contract at the club expires at the end of next season, which has put him on the radar of PSG, among other clubs.

However, a recent report from Fabrizio Romano has offered some important clarity on the future of Ferran.
As per the Italian transfer expert, it appears Barcelona have not spoken to any club surrounding a potential sale of Ferran.
This is despite the fact that PSG are keen on getting their hands on Ferran on a cut-price deal this summer, as they look to capitalise on his contract situation at Camp Nou.
Romano points out that although PSG are interested, they have only held talks with Ferran’s agents. It remains to be seen whether the reigning European champions will follow up with a formal offer for Barcelona.

Recent reports certainly indicate that Ferran Torres is more likely to stay at Camp Nou rather than finding a new adventure elsewhere.
Romano adds that Barcelona continue to count on the Spanish international, as he will be a vital cog in the team’s attack following the exit of Robert Lewandowski.
That being said, the Catalans are yet to make any progress on the renewal front, with Romano adding that it is a separate matter altogether.
Barcelona are not in advanced talks with Ferran over a contract extension, which suggests the club may still have a lot of work to do, if they are to keep hold of the Spanish international.
The coming weeks, to that end, could be critical and a lot may also depend on Barcelona’s pursuit of Julian Alvarez .
