PSG reach verbal agreement with Ferran Torres

The awaited development regarding the attack has arrived at European champions PSG. According to Di Marzio, the French club has reached a verbal agreement with Spanish forward Ferran Torres, who plays for Barcelona. While talks between the clubs are expected to begin very soon, the details of the transfer are planned to be finalized after the World Cup.

According to reports, the 26-year-old player has also given the green light to this move. It is stated that a contract extension at the Catalan club is viewed as "very difficult" for Torres, whose deal with Barcelona expires in 2027. Barcelona's asking price for the player is reported to be around €35 million.

On PSG's side, this move stands out as part of the renewal process in their attacking line. At the club that sold Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan in a record-breaking deal, Lee Kang-in's transfer to Atlético Madrid is also nearing completion. Manager Luis Enrique is said to rate Torres highly from the period when he coached him with the Spain national team. The versatility of the player, who can operate both as a No. 9 and on the wing, offers a profile that fits Luis Enrique's footballing philosophy.

With this development, it is stated that Premier League clubs interested in the player, such as Aston Villa and Tottenham, have been leapfrogged. It is also stated that Barcelona closing in on the transfer of Karim Adeyemi has reduced Torres's chances of playing time at the club and made the decision to leave easier. The next steps toward making the transfer official will be followed with interest in the coming period.
