With Gonçalo Ramos departing for AC Milan on June 30, Paris Saint-Germain is eyeing Ferran Torres as a potential replacement. The Spanish striker, who has been in Dallas ahead of the FIFA World Cup semifinal between France and Spain, found himself at the center of transfer speculation involving the Ligue 1 giants.
Gonçalo Ramos, who spent three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, completed a move to AC Milan for approximately €74 million on the final day of the summer transfer window. His exit has left a significant void in the squad, prompting PSG to explore options to reinforce their attacking lineup.
Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer interest in Ferran Torres
According to reports, PSG has already reached a preliminary agreement with Ferran Torres, whose contract with FC Barcelona runs until June 2027. Nicolo Schira, a club insider, confirmed the details, suggesting the deal could span five seasons. However, the finalization of the transfer hinges on the stance of FC Barcelona, the player’s current club.
Barcelona’s firm position on Ferran Torres
Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, addressed the transfer rumors while attending the World Cup semifinal in Dallas. In a candid statement, he dismissed early reports about a potential move. «A transfer of Ferran Torres to PSG? I’ve heard about it, but we haven’t received any confirmation yet. He is a player of FC Barcelona, one of the 14 players we have here. Ferran is also very effective. Every time he steps onto the pitch, he poses a major threat. His assist to Merino was outstanding. Regardless, we have excellent footballers here at the World Cup, which is why I’m present myself,» Laporta explained.
The president’s remarks underscore Barcelona’s reluctance to entertain transfer talks at this stage, emphasizing the player’s importance to the team’s current and future plans.
