Barcelona agrees transfer of Ferran Torres to PSG, avoiding payment to City

Barcelona has reached an agreement for Ferran Torres to join Paris Saint-Germain for approximately €50 million, effectively avoiding a €10 million payment to Manchester City. The deal comes as Torres enters the final year of his contract and follows Barcelona’s financial struggles in recent years. The Catalan club initially acquired Torres during a difficult financial period, and they are expected to generate a profit of around €35 million from the sale. With this transfer finalized, Barcelona still seeks to bolster their attacking options after the departure of Robert Lewandowski. The club is considering alternative signings, including Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid and Harry Kane from Bayern Munich.
