According to SPORT, FC Barcelona do not consider Ferran Torres' future to be an immediate issue. The club have already outlined their strategy regarding the forward and have no intention of changing course.
Ferran's current contract expires on 30 June, and Barcelona have informed his representatives that they are willing to offer him a new deal.
However, formal negotiations are expected to begin in September in order to avoid complications linked to the club's salary cap.
It is an approach the club has followed before and one that will also apply to Marc Bernal, who is awaiting an improved contract extension.
If Ferran wishes to leave, whether because of reported interest from PSG or any other club, Barça believe the initiative must come from the player. He would need to request a meeting with the club to discuss his future and reach a decision.

Ferran Torres has had quite the summer. An extra-time winner in the World Cup final sealed success for Spain in North America, etching his name into national and football folklore.
Torres had the most productive season of his Barcelona career in 2025/26, but there are suggestions he could leave as the Spanish side seek to sign Julian Alvarez. We've looked at the likeliest destinations for the forward.
Paris Saint-Germain – 17/20
Paris Saint-Germain are priced as frontrunners as Luis Enrique looks to add even more depth to a star-studded frontline. With Bradley Barcola agitating for an exit and Yan Diomande off to Real Madrid, Torres could offer an ideal replacement. Enrique gave Torres his Spain debut and appreciates his versatile profile.
Liverpool – 2/1

Arsenal are continuing their efforts to strengthen their attack after adding Christos Tzolis to their squad from Club Brugge, with their next attacking target potentially coming from La Liga.
The Gunners have improved their squad by bringing in some of the finest names in the game and have continued to demonstrate their ability to identify and sign talented players. Their manager has also shown an ability to keep new arrivals committed to the club's ambitions.
Arsenal are determined to keep improving their squad and have identified two World Cup winners as potential additions. The club believes further attacking reinforcements could help them compete at the highest level across domestic and European competitions.
According to Metro Sport, the Gunners still want to sign either Nico Williams or Ferran Torres during this transfer window after both players combined to score the winning goal at the World Cup final.
Both attackers have remained important figures for Athletic Club and Barcelona respectively, and ******* nal would like to secure at least one of them this summer. Their quality and experience make them attractive options as the club looks to add more strength in attack.

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the final of the 2026 World Cup, which Donald Trump was in attendance to watch.
The President was part of the trophy celebrations after the match and handed out the medals to players.
Meanwhile, while Spain were celebrating their victory with a parade, goalscorer Ferran Torres wore a 'Make Spain Great Again' cap, which Trump has now been asked about.

The White House has already responded to Torres wearing what is basically a copy of the 'Make America Great Again' cap that became popular under Trump.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - MAY 22: Gleyber Torres #25 of the Detroit Tigers plays against the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park on May 22, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks away. As teams look to fortify their rosters for the stretch run, fantasy managers can help their squads by scouring the waiver wire for reinforcements. Let’s highlight five players to consider adding who are still available in the majority of Yahoo leagues.
Torres has been limited to 46 games this season because of injury. He recently missed over a month with an oblique ailment. Across three games since making his return, he is 3-for-11 with two walks and a run scored. He continues to show a good eye at the plate, recording a 15.3% walk rate and a 19.2% strikeout rate for the season. That has enabled him to record a .351 wOBA. The Tigers will play six games next, including three at the Athletics’ hitter-friendly park. Don’t hesitate to add Torres if you need help at second base.
Sasaki is coming off a good start against the Yankees in which he gave up one unearned run over 5 2/3 innings. The most encouraging stat from that outing was that he didn’t give up a home run for the first time since the middle of May. In Week 19, he is lined up to make a start at home against the Mariners. He has been good there, recording a 3.69 xFIP, 1.29 WHIP and 26.4% strikeout rate in Los Angeles. Consider him one of the better streaming options to target.
Ewing is swinging a hot bat, hitting 17-for-53 (.321) with two home runs and four doubles across his last 12 games. He even stole three bases during that span, giving him a total of 11 steals over 63 games. After showing an adept skill of getting on base throughout his time in the minors, he is batting .274 with a .345 OBP with the Mets. New York is slated to play seven games next week, so Ewing will have plenty of opportunities to provide fantasy value.

Lionel Messi has secured an honor just days after Argentina fell short in the FIFA World Cup Final against Spain.
Last weekend witnessed the conclusion of the World Cup, with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time courtesy of Ferran Torres' 106th-minute strike at MetLife Stadium. The final was tarnished, however, by Argentina's attempts to disrupt proceedings throughout, with Lionel Scaloni's team trying to undermine Spain's dominance through deliberate fouls at every turn.
They were also reduced to 10 men when Enzo Fernández received his marching orders for a second yellow card following his reckless and needless tackle on Spain's Pau Cubarsi in the 93rd minute. After the final whistle, the unsightly incidents persisted, with Leandro Paredes caught throwing punches at several Spain players, including Barcelona star Gavi, who has stated he doesn't wish to see the former suspended despite what occurred, via The Mirror US.

The dust may have settled on the FIFA World Cup with players and coaches all settling back into their regular routines back home, but the memory of Sunday's Final, and particularly the post-game brawl sparked by some of Argentina's players, lives long in the memory.
Following Enzo Fernandez's 93rd-minute red card, Argentina held on to a goalless draw to force the game into extra time, having failed to register a single shot compared to Spain's 20.
Lionel Scaloni's side continued to hold Spain at bay through the first half of extra time, before substitute Ferran Torres finally broke down their defenses, winning the game early in the second half and sealing a second World Cup crown for La Roja's men's team.

Former Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has on Thursday sent a message of congratulations the way of some of his ex-teammates in Catalunya's capital.
This of course comes after no fewer than eight members of Hansi Flick's squad were crowned world champions last weekend.
Owing to a 1-0 extra-time downing of Argentina, Spain emerged triumphant at the 2026 World Cup. Luis da la Fuente's ranks were packed with Barcelona players, with all of Joan García, Eric García, Pau Cubarsí, Pedri, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres having made the trip to North America.
The latter even notched the decisive goal in Sunday's final.
Spotted celebrating in the aftermath of Ferran's extra-time strike in New York was the aforementioned Robert Lewandowski, fresh off bringing a close to his Blaugrana stint earlier this summer.

Spain manager Luis de La Fuente made several bold decisions ahead of the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, which in hindsight all paid off.
Some of his biggest decisions, in fact, came before the tournament at the time when he announced the list of players he was calling up for the event.
As part of his selection process, the manager dropped some of Spain's biggest veteran stars, including two former captains, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Morata, but many of the omitted stars did make their way to New York to witness the eventual final.
It was Barcelona's Ferran Torres who scored the winning goal for Spain against Argentina in the final, and given how the goal came after a gruelling 106 minutes, the celebrations in the Spanish camp were aggressive.
Following the hard-fought win against Lionel Messi & co. Lamine Yamal was seen sharing a special moment with former captain Morata during the same period.

Spain World Cup hero Ferran Torres made a bold headwear choice during Monday's victory parade in Madrid.
Torres scored in extra time of the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, giving Spain a 1-0 victory over Argentina.
The following day, Spain returned home to celebrate its second World Cup ****** le. Nearly two million people were estimated to be in attendance for an open-top bus parade and celebration at the Plaza de Cibeles just outside Madrid city hall.
Torres was front and center of the festivities. The Barcelona forward raised eyebrows by wearing an almost identical hat to the "Make America Great Again" headwear made famous by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The only difference between Torres' headwear and a MAGA hat was his usage of "Spain" instead of "America" in the lettering.

Barcelona are in search of a new striker this summer transfer window, and they have identified Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez as their dream number nine target.
The Catalan club are facing an obstacle, with Los Colchoneros refusing to budge in their stance that the 2022 World Cup winner is not for sale.
Now, according to Jota Jordi (h/t Carpetas Blaugranas), Ferran Torres could hold the key to unlocking Alvarez’s move to the Catalan club this summer.
He says that the situation is so closely connected that if the 2026 World Cup winner said yes to Atletico, Alvarez “would become a Barça player the next day.”
That is a strong claim, and it suggests Atletico may be more open to discussing Alvarez if they can secure Ferran as part of their own attacking planning.

Ferran Torres’s future at Barcelona is looking increasingly uncertain amid growing interest in the forward following his World Cup heroics and the club’s reluctance to offer an extension just yet.
The Shark scored the winner in the World Cup final and has admirers in PSG, Real Madrid and Liverpool this summer, if the rumor mill is to be believed.
PSG certainly appear a realistic destination, with the club having presented a very attractive offer that has made Ferran have doubts over staying at Barcelona, according to Sport.
The report adds that Torres has also been hurt by the fact that Barca have never seriously considered him as first choice for the No. 9 spot following Robert Lewandowski’s departure.
Barcelona do want Ferran to stay but aren’t thinking about changes to his salary or his role in the squad and are now waiting to hear the World Cup winner’s thoughts on his future.

Barcelona star Gavi took to social media to send a heartfelt message the way of Blaugrana legend Lionel Messi early this week. This of course comes after Gavi's Spain got the better of Messi's Argentina in the finale of the 2026 World Cup.
The reigning European and South American champions went head-to-head this past weekend, on the grandest stage in international football.
When all was said and done, a member of Hansi Flick's Barcelona squad proved himself the decisive figure, as Ferran Torres' extra-time strike proved the difference between the sides after 120 minutes.
Ferran was one of eight Blaugrana players included in Luis de la Fuente's La Roja ranks for the World Cup.
And as alluded to above, with the dust having now settled on Sunday's matchup, another such star has sent a message the way of the crestfallen Lionel Messi.

#ferran #star #head

Spain lifted the trophy, Lionel Messi's era reached its closing chapter, and FIFA walked away richer than ever. From record-breaking attendance and soaring television audiences to unprecedented ticket prices and growing commercialization, the 2026 FIFA World Cup may ultimately be remembered as the tournament that changed football forever.
Spain did it.
Luis de la Fuente's side defeated Argentina in a one-sided final that somehow stretched into extra time before Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to secure La Furia's second FIFA World Cup. The scoreline hardly reflected the dominant victory. Spain outshot Argentina 20-3, controlled nearly 70% of possession, and dictated virtually every minute of the match.
This Spain team is difficult to describe. At times the football was beautiful, yet it also felt cold, clinical, and almost mechanical. Every movement seemed rehearsed, every pass calculated. There was elegance and precision, but often little of the emotion, grit, or raw intensity that has traditionally defined football's greatest champions. Spain dismantled France in the semis and Argentina in the final by trusting the same formula, and there was no reason to stray from it.
In many ways, it's ironic that the polished, easy-to-consume product put forth by this Spanish side ended up winning a World Cup hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. There is little controversy, little mystery, and even less that demands endless debate. Spain is easy to understand, easy to market, and easy to celebrate, much like the consumer culture surrounding the tournament itself.

Spain and Manchester City star Rodri made a point of publicly defending Barcelona's Ferran Torres during the country's World Cup celebrations.
This of course comes after the 26-year-old proved himself the decisive figure in La Roja lifting just their 2nd-ever world ******* le.
Ferran was introduced off the bench on Sunday evening, as Spain locked horns with then-champions Argentina on the grandest stage in all of football.
And en route to an eventual 1-0 triumph, the former Manchester City man notched the only goal of the evening. Laid on courtesy of a clever Nico Williams knock-down, Ferran made no mistake in directing an unerring left-footed strike into the Argentine net.
This proved to be a moment of validation for the attacker, who has long been singled out for criticism by fans for his performances at club and international level alike.

Shakira found herself back at the center of relationship chatter after making a memorable appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.
The Colombian superstar wasn't the one lifting the trophy, but her interaction with Spain hero Ferran Torres quickly stole attention online.
As photos of the pair circulated across social media, fans wasted little time dragging Gerard Pique into the conversation, with many convinced the retired soccer star would have plenty to think about after the headline-making moment.
Shakira raised eyebrows after she was photographed sharing a warm moment with Ferran Torres following his match-winning performance against Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.
The 49-year-old singer joined comedian Kevin Hart in presenting the 26-year-old forward with the Man of the Match award after Spain secured victory.

It's been quite a memorable few weeks in the life of Liverpool winger Victor Munoz, and the high point might only be a handful of days away.
Having been called up to the Spain squad for the World Cup despite only making his debut in March, the 23-year-old also joined the Reds from Osasuna, and in four days' time he could be a world champion.

La Roja are one win away from being simultaneous European and world champions after they defeated France 2-0 on Tuesday night, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro securing their place in Sunday's final.
If Spain are victorious against Argentina or England next weekend and Munoz gets on the pitch, he'll become just the third man to play in a World Cup final for the eventual champions, matching the feat of Roger Hunt (England in 1966) and Fernando Torres (Spain in 2010).

The board at La Liga giants Barcelona intend to keep hold of transfer-linked attacker Ferran Torres through next season and beyond.
This comes amid the understanding that, contrary to recent media claims, the plan of the Blaugrana is to renew the expiring contract terms of the 26-year-old.
Ferran has of course seen his name dominate the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the last week. After word was forthcoming that European champions Paris Saint-Germain had set their sights firmly on the Spanish international, the Camp Nou brass were tipped to sanction a sale.
Ferran’s current contract is due to expire next summer, and Barca would be forced to fork over a considerable sum to Manchester City in the case of a renewal.
As alluded to above, though, Ferran evidently nevertheless remains part of the long-term planning in Hansi Flick’s squad.

Erling Haaland had been attracting attention with his performances long before the World Cup. But since the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico at the latest, even football fans who want nothing to do with the English Premier League know who he is.
Just how big the hype surrounding the Norwegian superstar has become is especially evident in Peru. According to the civil registry, 468 children there bear the 25-year-old’s surname, according to a report by the news agency 'AFP'.
Another 91 babies also bear the full name Erling Haaland, it added. “Various football stars serve as inspiration for Peruvians when registering their children with these names,” said Ivan Torres, spokesperson for the registration office, in comments to 'Panamericana Television'.
According to Torres, most of the newborn Peruvians named after Haaland were registered in the weeks since the start of the World Cup. The numbers rose sharply when Norway reached the quarter-finals.
But Haaland is not the only football star adored in Peru. According to the civil registry, 3,402 children were named after Lionel Messi, 1,185 after Cristiano Ronaldo, 1,241 after Lamine Yamal, and as many as 33,809 children were named after Neymar.

Barcelona transfer news surrounding Ferran Torres has a new update, with Atletico Madrid reportedly ruling themselves out of the race for the Barcelona forward.
According to The Athletic, despite growing speculation in recent days, the Madrid-based club has no intention of signing the Spain international this summer.
The report provides another important update on Ferran Torres’ future, which has become one of the biggest stories of the Barcelona summer transfer window.
Questions continue to surround the 26-year-old, not only because of increased competition following Karim Adeyemi’s arrival at Barcelona, but also due to the financial implications of offering him a new contract.

Club football is demanding the spotlight on a day of busy offices, pre-seasons underway, and boardrooms burning up.
The ball starts rolling. Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona officially begin their pre-seasons today. With all eyes on the new 2026/27 campaign, the three La Liga giants are starting medical check-ups and the first training workloads ahead of a demanding season.
Joan Laporta has made a big splash in the market. When asked about Atlético de Madrid's interest in Julián Álvarez, the Barcelona president warned: "We're not going to dance to anyone else's tune, we set the rhythm." He also officially confirmed the signing of Karim Adeyemi and Raphinha's stay, while keeping some uncertainty over Ferran Torres.
Paolo Maldini is taking on a historic mission. One of the living legends of defensive football has been named the new technical director of the Italian Federation (FIGC). His main objective is to rebuild the foundations of the Azzurra and return the team to the absolute elite after the heavy blow of missing their third consecutive World Cup.
A spectacular twist in the Premier League. Switzerland international Johan Manzambi, the undisputed breakout star of the World Cup, is one step away from becoming a new player for Unai Emery's Aston Villa. The Birmingham club have managed to **** the signing from Newcastle when negotiations had seemed all but done.

Barcelona transfer news continues to be dominated by uncertainty surrounding Ferran Torres after Paris Saint-Germain emerged as serious admirers of the Spanish attacker.
The development has gathered momentum following the club's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi, a move that could influence Hansi Flick's attacking options before the new season.
With the Spaniard under contract until 2027 but renewal talks making little progress, questions over Ferran Torres Barcelona future have only intensified.
As reported before, PSG believe this could be the ideal moment to test Barcelona's resolve, especially with the Catalan club facing an important decision over one of their most experienced forwards.
The PSG transfer news indicates that the French champions remain interested in signing Ferran Torres but have no intention of matching Barcelona's valuation.

Paris Saint-Germain continues in the search to reinforce its squad for next season, and among the players it would most like to have is Ferran Torres.
In recent weeks, the name of Torres, 26, a forward for FC Barcelona, has sounded strongly as a candidate to join the team coached by Luis Enrique.
Rumor has it that the young Spaniard is also willing to join the Parisian club. His future had been in doubt for some time, and with his contractual situation up in the air, these rumors arrived at just the right time to decide it.
For now, PSG has competition. According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, who reported on RadioMARCA, Ferran has a new suitor: none other than Atletico Madrid.
Moretto **** ures that Atletico Madrid's sporting director, Mateu Alemany, finds Torres' play extraordinary, so he does not guarantee 100% that the Spaniard will stay with Barcelona; rather, his future looks too open.

Barcelona have already made moves for Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi this summer. The former’s transfer has been made official and the latter is expected to complete the formalities in the coming days.
Needless to say, Hansi Flick is going all out to strengthen the forward line ahead of next season, and the arrivals have been direct replacements for existing profiles.
Gordon arrived in place of Marcus Rashford whose continuity the club decided against. Adeyemi, meanwhile is expected to arrive in place of exit-bound Roony Bardghji as a more seasoned option.
Julian Alvarez, meanwhile, remains the primary target to replace Robert Lewandowski who left at the end of last season. Now, Ferran Torres is being linked with a departure to PSG and the club are again looking for replacements.
As relayed earlier this week, Fisnik Asllani is seen as a player who can replace Torres should he leave the club this summer. Mundo Deportivo now provide an update on the same.

A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona is inching towards a summer exit from the club.
This comes amid the understanding that Ferran Torres is locked in active negotiations with European champions Paris Saint-Germain, over a potential joining of forces for next season.
Frontman Ferran is of course fresh off playing his part in Spain booking their spot in the semi-finals of the World Cup on Friday night.
All the while, though, activity is ongoing behind the scenes to sort his future at club level.
The former Manchester City man has seen his future in Catalunya's capital thrown firmly into doubt over recent weeks, amid Barca's efforts to reinforce Hansi Flick's frontline.

Tottenham Hotspur have fresh encouragement in the race for Eli Junior Kroupi, with Paris Saint-Germain now advancing on Ferran Torres after accepting their pursuit of the Bournemouth forward is fading. According to TeamTalk, the change in direction in Paris has opened a serious window for Spurs to press on with one of their priority attacking plans.
PSG had seen Kroupi as their standout option while seeking a replacement for Goncalo Ramos, who is edging towards AC Milan. Yet the French champions have now been told the young attacker is unwilling to join if it means taking a secondary role behind "the likes of Ousmane Dembele and the club's established attacking stars". That detail matters, because it speaks directly to what has been driving this situation from the start, regular football and a clear pathway.
With that in mind, PSG have moved quickly. TeamTalk reports that Ferran Torres has "now emerged as PSG's preferred alternative", with the Spain international making strong progress towards a switch from Barcelona. The report adds that Torres has "now agreed personal terms with PSG" and that talks between the clubs are moving forward. For Tottenham, that development could prove pivotal.

There has already been a strong indication that Tottenham's interest in Kroupi is more than exploratory. The 20-year-old has been identified as one of the club's leading attacking targets, with the current regime continuing a major squad build. What stands out in this latest update is the suggestion that Kroupi finds the prospect of joining Tottenham "hugely appealing". In a market where elite young forwards can often wait on bigger names, that wording feels significant.

Ferran Torres' future at Barcelona has taken an unexpected turn following interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French and European champions are keen to sign the Barcelona attacker and have held positive talks with his camp.
Luis Enrique's admiration for Ferran is well known. The PSG manager was one of the strongest supporters of the forward during his time with the Spanish national team and remains convinced of his qualities.
Now, according to La Vanguardia, inside the Catalan club, the message regarding the 26-year-old forward is clear: either he renews his contract or he is sold.
Sources at Barcelona acknowledge that the club's preferred outcome is to extend Ferran's deal, which currently expires in 2027.

According to SPORT, FC Barcelona are preparing to take a firm stance if PSG step up their pursuit of Ferran Torres.
While the Catalan club are closely monitoring the advanced negotiations between the Spanish forward and the French champions, they have no intention of allowing him to leave cheaply.
The club will not stand in the player's way if he decides to move, but they are determined to secure a transfer fee that reflects his value.
As such, the report states that Barcelona have made their position clear: Ferran's valuation is €50 million, and they do not intend to lower that price. The Blaugrana believe the figure is affordable for PSG.
Reports from France recently suggested the Parisian club could reach around €45 million, including bonuses, but Barça expect them to improve that offer before any agreement can be reached.

Fernando Torres is without doubt one of the best strikers to grace Liverpool with his presence in their recent history.
El Nino, as he was known, was one of the main reasons why the Reds were feared during that era with his £50 million transfer to Chelsea breaking the hearts of every single fan.
However, shortly after his exit, Luis Suarez entered the frame and filled the void left by the Spaniard more than well enough.
Admittedly, fans will have probably expected Alexander Isak to be their next big thing in attack but, after a season full of injuries, he still needs to prove his worth to the Reds' fanbase.
Indeed, Hugo Ekitike managed to fill the void before his injury as he contributed to 23 goals across all competitions, but, since he's out injured until who knows when, it's hardly surprising to think that Liverpool will want to bring in a new attacker or two.
