- Ferran Torres has been granted permission to miss Barcelona's Wednesday training session as he finalises a move to PSG.
- The deal is likely worth more than £40m, with Torres having only one year left on his Barcelona contract.
- Torres scored the extra-time winner against Argentina in Spain's World Cup final this summer.
- On a US media tour, Torres said: "I have a contract with Barcelona but, in football, you never know" — comments that frustrated some Barcelona fans.
- PSG play Aston Villa in the Super Cup final on Wednesday in Salzburg and are managed by ex-Barcelona coach Luis Enrique.
- PSG could lose forward Bradley Barcola to Liverpool this summer, reshaping the attack around Torres' arrival.
- Torres has been at Barcelona since 2022, previously spent two years at Manchester City, and has 25 goals in 65 Spain appearances.
Why it matters: Barcelona are selling a World Cup-winning forward on the cheap (£40m) with one year left on his deal, while PSG — reigning back-to-back Champions League winners — add a clinical finisher, though they may simultaneously lose Barcola to Liverpool.
