Real Madrid Joins Race for Ferran Torres

Real Madrid has entered the competition to sign Spanish forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona during the summer transfer window, joining Paris Saint-Germain in the battle for the player whose stock has risen significantly following his impressive performance in the 2026 World Cup final.

According to French newspaper "L'Équipe", Real Madrid has shown interest in signing Ferran Torres in the last few hours, after he scored the winning goal for Spain against Argentina in the World Cup final, a goal that secured La Roja the title and increased the market value of the 26-year-old forward.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo has reported that Barcelona remains committed to renewing Ferran Torres' contract, despite Paris Saint-Germain's efforts to sign him. The French club has already initiated contact with the player in an attempt to persuade him to move to Paris.

The French newspaper added that Luis Enrique had direct talks with Ferran Torres to convince him to join Paris Saint-Germain's project, leveraging their previous relationship in the Spanish national team, as the French club seeks to strengthen its attack following the expected departures of Bradley Barcola and Lee Kang-in, alongside Gonçalo Ramos's transfer to AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reported that Barcelona's management plans to hold a meeting with Ferran Torres next week to determine his future, as the Catalan club aims to extend his contract, which expires on June 30, 2027.

Despite Barcelona's insistence on retaining the player, renewing his contract will not be possible until September due to financial fair play restrictions. Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are closely monitoring developments regarding his situation in the coming weeks.
