- Ferran Torres has been given permission to miss Barcelona's Wednesday training session to finalise a transfer to PSG that is likely to be worth more than £40m.
- Torres, 26, scored the extra-time winner against Argentina in this summer's World Cup final, helping Spain claim their second world title.
- Torres has one year left on his Barcelona contract and told media during a US tour that "in football, you never know" when asked about PSG links.
- PSG are managed by former Barcelona player and coach Luis Enrique and face Aston Villa in the Super Cup final on Wednesday night in Salzburg.
- PSG could lose forward Bradley Barcola this summer, with Liverpool reportedly interested in signing the Frenchman.
- Torres has scored 25 in 65 games for his country since joining Barcelona in 2022 from Manchester City.
Why it matters: Barcelona risk losing a 26-year-old World Cup-winning forward with only a year left on his deal for a reported £40m+ fee, while PSG would reinforce Luis Enrique's squad just as they may need to replace Barcola and chase another Champions League run.
