Barcelona are facing a pivotal week as the club attempts to navigate the transfer market, aiming to sign Julian Alvarez while simultaneously managing the future of Ferran Torres. The Spanish World Cup star, who famously scored in the final against Argentina, has recently appeared on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain.
Although Barcelona previously maintained a firm stance on keeping the forward, particularly after offloading Robert Lewandowski, the club is now adopting a more balanced perspective. According to MARCA, the Catalans are willing to part ways with Ferran Torres if the player is certain about his desire to leave for PSG. The club has made it clear that they do not want to retain any player who is not fully keen on remaining at Camp Nou.
Barcelona are also realistic about the financial landscape, acknowledging that they cannot compete with the salary packages PSG can offer the Spanish international. This aligns with reports suggesting the club will not enter a bidding war for the forward. Nevertheless, the club intends to make an effort to convince the former Man City starlet to renew his contract at Camp Nou, which is currently set to expire at the end of next season.
Regarding a potential transfer, Barcelona have established a clear price tag. Despite his contract running until 2027, the club is looking for a fee in the range of his current market value, which is €55 million according to Transfermarkt. The Blaugrana believe it is more prudent to facilitate a sale this summer than to risk the player leaving as a free agent next year. Currently, the club is awaiting the return of Ferran Torres from his extended international break, after which the forward is expected to announce his decision.
