The move comes as PSG seeks to fill the void left by Gonçalo Ramos’ departure to AC Milan.

Transfer date already set as Barça fights to keep their star

The Catalan giants are demanding a hefty €50 million as a starting point for negotiations. Insiders reveal PSG has already earmarked a transfer date in two weeks, while simultaneously advancing talks for other World Cup-winning French players such as Lucas Digne and Maghnes Akliouche.

Once a target of criticism in Spain and occasionally sidelined at his club, Torres appears eager to embrace a fresh challenge with the reigning European champions. The Valencia academy graduate joined Barcelona in 2022 after a brief stint at Manchester City, amassing an impressive 208 appearances and 65 goals during his time in La Liga.
