Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal for Spain against Argentina in the recently concluded World Cup final. According to "L'Equipe," the Merseyside club could enter a transfer battle with Paris Saint-Germain, who have been linked with the Spaniard for some time.
Prior to the 2026 World Cup, it seemed certain that Barcelona would sell Ferran Torres, whose contract expires next summer. However, following the former Manchester City player's strong performance and increased interest, the Catalan management plans to meet with the player and his representatives next week. Barcelona will offer Torres a new contract, which would automatically increase his price. The agreement, however, must come into effect in September due to the club's salary cap restrictions.
It was previously revealed that the agreement between Barcelona and Manchester City includes a clause stating that the Catalans must pay an additional 8 million euros to the "Citizens" upon extending Torres's contract. This could bring the total transfer fee to 73 million euros.
Barcelona has yet to secure their primary target for the attacking front, Julian Alvarez, and the club still lacks a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Consequently, there's growing consideration at Camp Nou about retaining Torres. Whatever the outcome, the forward's price will significantly increase compared to his valuation before the 2026 World Cup.
