Ferran Torres is ready to continue his career with Paris Saint-Germain after giving the French club a definitive answer over a potential move, according to Diario Sport.
The Barcelona forward has agreed to join Luis Enrique’s side, with Paris Saint-Germain aiming to complete the deal before next week. Torres is expected to return to team training at that point, making the timing of the negotiations significant for all parties involved.
The report says the 26-year-old Spain international has accepted the proposed move to the Paris club after discussions over his future. Paris Saint-Germain now intend to bring the transfer to a conclusion before Torres is due back with his Barcelona team-mates.
Torres’ decision represents a change in the situation surrounding his position at Barcelona. Until recently, the Catalan club had been leaning towards keeping the forward and had been considering offering him a new contract.
However, reports emerged that Barcelona were prepared to listen to offers for Torres after interpreting recent comments from the player as a possible indication that he wanted to leave. Those declarations prompted uncertainty over whether he still saw his future at the club.
The forward’s current Barcelona contract expires next year, which has added pressure to the club’s decision. Barcelona must now assess whether to retain Torres for the final year of his existing agreement or agree a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain before the player resumes training.
Paris Saint-Germain are managed by Luis Enrique, who has previously worked with Torres. The French club are seeking to close the deal in the coming days, with the next week identified as the target deadline.
Torres joined Barcelona’s squad as a World Cup winner and has remained the subject of interest while the club considers its options. The latest developments, as reported by Diario Sport, indicate that the player has made his preference clear by agreeing to a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
For now, the proposed transfer remains focused on reaching a final agreement between the clubs. Paris Saint-Germain’s intention is to settle the matter before Torres returns to team training next week, while Barcelona face a decision over the future of a player whose contract has only one year remaining.
