Barcelona Rejects PSG's €40 Million Offer for Ferran Torres, Negotiations Continue
FC Barcelona has rejected Paris Saint-Germain's initial €40 million offer for Spanish midfielder Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal in Spain's 2026 World Cup final. Torres, 26, has agreed personal terms with PSG and is eager to move, but Barcelona demands a higher fee reflecting his international experience and age. Negotiations between the clubs continue as PSG aims to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. Torres remains under contract with Barcelona until June 2027 and has scored 40 goals in 94 matches since joining from Manchester City in 2021.
