According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona plans to meet with forward Ferran Torres next week to discuss his future after he scored the winning goal for Spain in the World Cup final. Torres has one year left on his Barcelona contract, and Paris Saint-Germain is actively pursuing him. Barcelona will not offer a contract extension until September due to financial fair play regulations, as signing an extension would trigger an €8 million variable clause payable to Manchester City. The club's management remains calm, noting that Torres' value has increased after his World Cup performance. Barcelona is still awaiting developments on Julian Alvarez's transfer and has not found a successor for Robert Lewandowski, but the team needs Torres for the new season. Torres has scored 25 goals in 65 international matches for Spain and 65 goals in 207 official matches for Barcelona.
