The Story in Brief
Barcelona has rejected an initial offer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) estimated at €40 million (Rs 340 crore) for Spanish World Cup winner Ferran Torres, a club source told AFP on Monday. The source confirmed 'negotiations are ongoing' between the two clubs, backing reports from Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo.
Spanish media reports that Torres, who scored the winning goal in the 2026 World Cup final for Spain, has agreed to join PSG and his former national team coach Luis Enrique. The 26-year-old forward, whose contract with Barcelona expires in June 2027, remained vague about his future during a promotional tour in the United States, saying he is 'waiting to make the right decision'.
The Indian Opinion
The transfer saga around Ferran Torres is being spun as a test of Barcelona's financial might, but the club simply rejected a €40 million bid for a player valued at over €55 million just two years ago. With one year left on his contract, the Catalan side risks losing him for nothing next summer. The real story is whether Torres pushes for a move or Barcelona bends on its asking price. Watch if any second bid crosses €50 million, that will reveal whose leverage is real.
