Barcelona president joan laporta addresses ferran torres’s potential psg move

Paris Saint-Germain is actively seeking a new forward following Gonçalo Ramos’s departure from the club. Among the names being considered, Ferran Torres has emerged as a key target. Now, FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta has offered his insights into the Spanish international’s future, speaking from Dallas ahead of the World Cup semi-final between France and Spain.

After three dedicated seasons of service, Gonçalo Ramos concluded his tenure with PSG. The Portuguese international finalized a move to AC Milan on June 30 for a reported fee close to €74 million.

No confirmation yet on Ferran Torres transfer

With Gonçalo Ramos’s departure creating a void, PSG is reportedly keen on securing a new central forward to bolster their squad. The Parisian club, presided over by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, has reportedly identified Ferran Torres as a prime candidate, despite his contract with FC Barcelona extending until June 30, 2027. Recent reports from Nicolo Schira suggested that PSG had already reached a preliminary five-year agreement in principle with the Spanish international. This raises a critical question: what is FC Barcelona‘s official stance on this potential transfer?

Ferran Torres remains a Barcelona player

Speaking from Dallas ahead of the World Cup semi-final match featuring France against Spain, Joan Laporta addressed the swirling speculation surrounding Ferran Torres. “Regarding a potential transfer of Ferran Torres to PSG? I have indeed heard these discussions, but we have not yet received any official confirmation,” stated the FC Barcelona president. He emphasized, “Ferran is a FC Barcelona player, one of the 14 excellent talents we have here. He consistently performs exceptionally well. Every time he steps onto the field, he poses a significant threat. His assist to Merino was truly remarkable. Ultimately, we have outstanding footballers participating in this World Cup, which is precisely why I am here.”
