Overview
- Torres told US outlets that "Barça must show that they want me" and left his long-term future open during interviews this week.
- Spanish reports say coach Hansi Flick and club officials were irritated that Torres aired contract doubts publicly rather than handling them internally.
- Clubs including Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to Torres, but the reports say Barcelona has received no formal offers so far.
- Torres remains under contract until summer 2027 and has said he must return to Barcelona to train on August 12, leaving time for talks or transfer moves.
- Barcelona reportedly prefers to agree an extension or sell now to avoid losing him for free, and the club’s interest in alternatives such as Julián Álvarez raises pressure on Torres’ place.
