FC Barcelona striker Ferran Torres<\/a> has agreed to join European rival Paris Saint-Germain according to SPORT<\/a>, which cited anonymous sources. <\/p>\n

Those sources, close to the negotiations, say that Ferran has already given PSG permission to \u201cactivate all its machinery\u201d and begin talks with Bar\u00e7a, which has been angered<\/a> by the striker\u2019s decision to discuss his future in public.<\/p>\n

Ferran is currently in the last 11 months of his contract, which expires on June 30, 2027. The Catalans would like to extend his terms but can\u2019t do that until September owing to Financial Fair Play issues.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Ferran\u2019s pay demands have to fall in line with his standing in Hansi Flick<\/a>\u2019s squad. He\u2019s seen as no more as a secondary member of it, just as he was when Robert Lewandowski<\/a> was still around ahead of leaving for the Chicago Fire once his own deal expired.<\/p>\n

Though granted he scored Spain\u2019s winning goal in the World Cup final against Argentina recently, Ferran also plays second fiddle to Mikel Oyarzabal on Luis de La Fuente\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n

Because of this, Bar\u00e7a and Flick are confused as to why Ferran sees himself as a main character up front and reportedly feels put out by a pursuit of Ateltico Madrid\u2019s Julian Alvarez<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ferran expects PSG and FC Barcelona to close a deal this week<\/p>\n

As already explained, no offer has yet been received at the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou for Ferran from Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Ferran expects a transfer to be closed this week, however, which means that he wouldn\u2019t even need to report to Flick for preason on August 12 while currently still holidaying after the World Cup. <\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has been busy in the country where he became immortal like Andres Iniesta, who scored the only goal of Spain\u2019s first World Cup final triumph in 2010. He\u2019s made numerous appearances on American television<\/a> this week, while also throwing out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. <\/p>\n

In the eyes of many FC Barcelon fans, though, something in the ball park of $50 million is enough to take away a player that their club paid Manchester City $63 million for in late 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona striker Ferran Torres has agreed to join European rival Paris Saint-Germain according to SPORT, which cited…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66571,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[179,92,1329,223,934,674,1819,935],"class_list":["post-66570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-atletico-madrid","tag-barcelona","tag-chicago-fire","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-ferran-torres","tag-julian-alvarez","tag-paris-saint-germain","tag-robert-lewandowski"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
