Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly made their initial official bid for Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. According to "Mundo Deportivo," the offer stood at €40 million but was immediately rejected by the Catalan giants, who are holding out for a higher sum.
Barcelona is aware that Ferran has already reached an agreement with PSG and is keen to join the Parisian club as soon as possible. However, the Camp Nou hierarchy will not greenlight the deal until they receive an offer that meets their valuation for a player who played a key role in Spain's World Cup triumph and possesses significant market value.
It's a common negotiation tactic for the French club to start with a lower bid than Barcelona's asking price. It is anticipated that this offer will be increased to secure the player's swift transfer.
Meanwhile, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported an offer totaling €50 million for the player's transfer, even claiming that the parties are close to a verbal agreement. However, sources within the club indicate that the only offer received so far is the aforementioned €40 million, which was met with a firm "no."
