Barcelona remain determined to keep Ferran Torres despite increasing transfer speculation liking the Spanish forward with Paris Saint-Germain. After an outstanding 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with Spain, Torres has become one of Europe's most sought-after attackers. Although he is still enjoying his post-tournament break and is expected to return to the club in early August, Barcelona are already preparing to offer him a new contract to reinforce his long-term future at Camp Nou.

The Catalan club continues to view the 26-year-old as a key figure in its sporting project, even as his current deal approaches its final year. Reports indicate that Barcelona intend to begin formal contract negotiations once the summer transfer window closes, a strategy designed to provide greater financial flexibility while complying with Financial Fair Play regulations. Extending Torres' contract would also trigger an €8 million payment to Manchester City under the terms of his original transfer agreement in 2022.

Despite reports of PSG monitoring the situation, Barcelona have reportedly received no official approach from the French champions. Club officials have also stated that neither Torres nor his representatives have expressed any desire to leave. Barcelona's position remains unchanged, with any potential transfer discussions depending entirely on whether the player requests a move. Until then, securing a contract extension remains the club's top priority.

Barcelona's determination to retain Torres is backed by his consistent contributions on the pitch. Since joining the club, he has scored 65 goals in 207 appearances and enjoyed his most productive campaign during the 2025-26 season, finding the net 21 times in 49 matches. His impressive performances continued with Spain during their successful 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, further enhancing both his market value and reputation as one of the club's most important attacking players.
