Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has received authorization to skip training sessions as he works to finalize a transfer to Paris St-Germain. The 26-year-old, who gained prominence after scoring an extra-time goal to help Spain secure the World Cup title this summer, was expected back at his club on Wednesday. Instead, he is navigating the closing stages of a deal expected to exceed £40 million.
Torres joined Barcelona in 2022 following a stint at Manchester City and has since made 207 appearances for the Catalan side. Despite having one year remaining on his current agreement, speculation regarding his departure has been fueled by his recent comments during a promotional tour in the United States, where he openly acknowledged the unpredictable nature of football transfers. PSG, coached by former Barcelona figure Luis Enrique, are looking to reinforce their squad, potentially filling a gap left by Bradley Barcola should he depart for Liverpool.
