PSG have “agreed all terms” with Ferran Torres over a potential summer transfer to Ligue 1.Fabrizio Romano reports on X (formerly Twitter) that the Champions League holders have now entered club-to-club negotiations with Barcelona over a transfer fee.Liverpool were believed to have expressed an interest in the 26-year-old, however, it seems their efforts are more intently focused on Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola.PSG swoop for Ferran Torres transferThere is a world in which the Reds moving for Torres this summer would have made a world of sense.However, with PSG’s interest becoming apparent, coupled with an impressive showing at the World Cup, it seems unlikely that Andoni Iraola’s men were ever going to look at the winger as a viable market opportunity as they might have before the opening of the summer window. 🚨🔴🔵 BREAKING: Paris Saint-Germain have agreed all terms with Ferran Torres.

But we’re not opposed to bringing a more senior option like Bradley Barcola to help replace a chunk of the stardust lost with Mo Salah’s departure, in addition to another exciting project in Mbaye.Plus, if we’re looking to sign both wingers from PSG, it probably works in our favour to not obstruct the French giants’ other business in the market.
