Real Madrid join PSG in race for Barcelona forward | OneFootball

After having scored the only goal in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina, the FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres is enjoying his place in the sun. Despite his impressive record with the Blaugrana club in the last two years as well, the Spaniard has continued to face criticism for various reasons.

Although he played an important role in Hansi Flick’s team last season, rotating with Robert Lewandowski in the striker role, his future at the Catalan club is highly uncertain. He has only one year left on his contract, and Barcelona cannot offer him a new contract until the end of this summer transfer window, as they need their wage margin to register any new signings they make this summer.

As a result, he has been linked with a move away from the Blaugrana club, with Paris Saint-Germain emerging as a particularly strong candidate for his signing. However, with the goal that etched his name in the history of Spanish football, several other big clubs are now taking a greater interest in him.

In this regard, SPORT cites the French outlet l’Equipe to claim that another side that is attentive to his situation is none other than Barcelona’s biggest rivals, Real Madrid. The Merengues had already tried to sign him when he was still playing for Valencia, but the forward opted for Manchester City at that time, as he wanted to play under Pep Guardiola.

Now, his World Cup heroics have reignited Los Blancos’ interest in him, but there is no doubt that Barcelona will be very averse to such a move, especially keeping in view the strained institutional relations between the two clubs. Meanwhile, PSG also continue to push for his signing, and the Blaugranes are not expected to let him leave for less than €50 million.
