Ferran Torres Moves Closer to PSG Transfer
Spanish forward Ferran Torres is close to officially moving to Paris Saint-Germain after receiving permission from Barcelona to miss training in order to finalize the agreement with his new club.
Ferran Torres was scheduled to return to Barcelona training today, Wednesday, alongside his teammates who participated in the World Cup. However, the player received the club's approval to be absent and finalize the last details regarding his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
This move has received the approval of Hans Flick, who understands that Ferran Torres will not remain with Barcelona next season. Therefore, he has allowed the player to skip returning to training with the team.
According to "Sport", there is a verbal preliminary agreement between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Ferran Torres for a fixed fee of €50 million, plus €5 million in variables. Ferran is expected to become a player for the French club during this week, but Paris Saint-Germain is currently engaged in the UEFA Super Cup, which prevents the completion of all transfer procedures before the final match.
The paperwork related to the European match has caused a delay in finalizing the transfer, despite a preliminary agreement between the two clubs. There are still some final legal details that need to be resolved before the official announcement of the transfer.
Ferran Torres' exit from Barcelona has become a matter of time, with the Catalan club set to receive a significant financial return from the sale of the player, who is entering the final year of his contract. According to "Sport", Barcelona will allocate these funds to finalize other open transfers, including deals for Rodri and João Cancelo.
Ferran Torres did not want to rush negotiations too much, but within Barcelona, everyone is convinced that his departure is very close. Both clubs will work to finalize the last details before the player returns to the training ground to collect his belongings and bid farewell to his teammates, before heading to Paris.
