Ferran Torres Set for PSG Move as Barcelona Eyes Rodri

Barcelona are about to lose another pillar of their dressing room. After Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres is next in line for the exit door – and this one carries both sporting pain and financial relief.

The Spanish international, fresh from a standout 2025/26 season and a starring role at the World Cup, is closing in on a move to Paris Saint-Germain. Inside the club, the feeling is clear: this is a question of timing, not doubt.

Deal entering the final stretch

Cadena SER report that Barcelona and PSG aim to finalise the agreement between today and tomorrow. The framework is already in place.

Ferran has long since reached an agreement with the French champions and is ready to fly to Paris in the coming hours for his medical. His absence from training is no longer a mystery: the forward did not work with the group on Thursday and had already been excused the previous day, a clear signal that negotiations are at the decisive stage.

Talks between the clubs have moved into the final phase. PSG tied down personal terms with the player weeks ago; now the last details revolve around the definitive structure of the transfer.

The fee is expected to land at around €55 million. For Barcelona, that number matters. With only one year left on Ferran’s contract, recovering such a sum is seen at the club as sharp business, even if it means saying goodbye to a World Cup final hero who had finally hit his peak.

A sacrifice to unlock Rodri

This exit is not an isolated move. It is a piece in a bigger puzzle – the pursuit of Rodri.

Barcelona have already sent Manchester City a second proposal worth €60 million, a package of fixed fee plus variables, after seeing an opening €50 million offer turned down. The response from England has not changed: City have also rejected the improved bid.

The Catalan club are not walking away. Inside the sporting department, there is still confidence that a deal can be struck. The plan is to return with a third, and what they hope will be a definitive, offer in the region of €70 million: €60 million guaranteed and €10 million in add-ons.

Here is where Ferran’s departure becomes crucial. The money from his sale is expected to give Barcelona the financial breathing room they need – not only to raise their proposal to City, but also to fit a signing of Rodri’s size into their squad registration limits.

One major exit, one targeted arrival. That is the calculation.

If Ferran Torres boards that flight to Paris and the numbers line up as expected, Barcelona will have the funds – and the pressure – to push all their chips in on Rodri before the window slams shut.
