Summary

Barcelona faces a crucial month regarding Ferran Torres, whose contract expires at the end of next season. The Spanish international is attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, with PSG reportedly in the lead. Barcelona plans to offer a renewal aligned with their salary policy from September but will not increase their offer to counter outside interest. If Torres opts for a transfer, the club aims to negotiate a fee rather than matching external bids. His decision is pivotal for Barcelona's pursuit of striker Julian Alvarez.
