Paris Saint-Germain have reached a principle agreement with Ferran Torres, Barcelona's forward, to fill the gap left by Gonçalo Ramos' move to AC Milan. The news, reported by Sky Sports Italia on July 10, 2026, puts the Paris club in pole position to finalize the transfer before the window closes.

Who is Ferran Torres and why does Paris Saint-Germain want him?

Ferran Torres, 23, scored 16 goals and provided 2 assists in 33 La Liga matches last season, benefiting from Robert Lewandowski's inconsistent form. His versatile profile, able to play on the wings or as a central striker, matches Luis Enrique's requirements, having already coached him with the Spanish national team.

What role does Luis Enrique envision for the new signing?

The Spanish manager relies on Torres' speed and technique to diversify an already potent Paris Saint-Germain attack. Alongside Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola, the coach sees Torres as a starter or backup depending on injuries and suspensions. The goal is to keep a constant threat on both flanks and centrally.

What hurdles remain before the deal is sealed?

Negotiations still focus on the transfer fee and release clauses. Barcelona has already announced Karim Adeyemi's imminent move from Borussia Dortmund, which could ease Torres' exit. No official figure has been disclosed, but rumors suggest a fee around €45 million.

How will the signing affect Paris Saint-Germain's transfer strategy?

Torres' arrival could speed up other moves. Securing the deal before August 31 would free up part of the budget earmarked for other forwards. Moreover, adding an international‑level player strengthens Paris Saint-Germain's bid for the Ligue 1 title and Champions League knockout stages.

When will the transfer be officially confirmed?

Luis Enrique said the talks should conclude "in the coming days." If all goes as expected, Torres will sign a contract until 2027 and join the Paris squad in mid‑July, just in time for the first summer training sessions. Paris Saint-Germain hopes to have a complete attack ready before the new season starts.
