Overview
- Reports over the weekend say Paris Saint‑Germain have made a concrete approach for Ferran Torres with a reported €35m offer and coach Luis Enrique personally interested.
- Atlético Madrid have entered the race and are reported to be willing to use Julián Álvarez as a makeweight in talks with Barcelona.
- Barcelona say they want to renew Torres and have scheduled a face‑to‑face meeting with him, setting a near‑term deadline for his decision reportedly before August 1.
- The club cannot formally register a new contract until September because of financial‑fair‑play constraints and renewing would trigger an estimated €8m payment to Manchester City under the original transfer terms.
- Torres is on holiday and in the final 12 months of his deal that runs to 2027, which gives suitors room to pursue a summer move and leaves Barcelona facing the risk of losing him for free next year if no agreement is reached.
