According to Spanish newspaper AS, Barcelona is awaiting a formal written offer from Paris Saint-Germain for forward Ferran Torres. PSG has already reached a full personal agreement with the player, clearing the obstacle on the player's side. The key now lies in price negotiations between the clubs. Barcelona's sporting director Deco stated the club's original intention was to renew Ferran's contract, but if the player chooses to leave, a sufficiently lucrative offer must be brought. Despite Ferran's contract having only one year remaining, Barcelona does not intend to sell him at a low price and is prepared to keep him for another season or let him leave as a free agent. Ferran's desire to leave stems from disappointment with Barcelona's management attitude, as the club took no substantial action to extend his contract or improve his salary after he helped Spain win the World Cup.
