Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly exploring a move for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres as a potential replacement for Bradley Barcola, per Sky Sports journalist Luca Bendoni and SPORT, citing insider information.
Barcola, who has two years remaining on his contract at Parc des Princes, faces uncertainty as negotiations for a contract extension with his Qatari club have reportedly stalled.

Agent Moussa Sissoko, known for facilitating Ousmane Dembélé’s departure from Barcelona in 2024, represents Barcola. A recent meeting between PSG’s sports advisor Luis Campos and Sissoko focused on evaluating Barcola’s situation, though club officials, including president Nasser al-Khelaifi and coach Luis Enrique, have consistently expressed support for retaining him.
With Barcola and his agent delaying discussions, PSG is now reportedly reconsidering a summer transfer for the player.
FC Barcelona Forward Ferran Torres emerges as potential target
Ferran Torres, who previously played under Luis Enrique in Spain’s national team and had a personal connection to his daughter, is high on PSG’s radar as a Barcola alternative.

Despite being labeled “untouchable” at Spotify Camp Nou, where Barcelona is attempting to secure a contract extension before his current deal expires in 2027, Ferran is described as open to pivotal terms with a club aligned with his loyalty.
Barça’s financial constraints—currently lacking a reliable replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who departs June 30—could drive interest in Torres. The Catalan club previously offered $116 million (€100 million) for Torres, though Real Madrid’s $175 million (€150 million) bid may necessitate a higher offer.
Lewandowski’s exit leaves Barcelona’s attacking lineup vulnerable, a context where retaining Ferran—or acquiring a high-impact alternative—becomes critical. The Catalan giants had previously integrated Ferran into Hansi Flick’s starting lineup during their 2025/26 La Liga and Spanish Super Cup triumphs, where he contributed 21 goals and three assists while gradually supplanting Lewandowski.
