7M - Barcelona Move to Lock Down Spain World Cup Hero Ferran Torres Amid Mounting PSG Interest

FC Barcelona are preparing an improved long-term contract offer for Ferran Torres to ward off aggressive interest from Paris Saint-Germain following his match-winning heroics in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, Barca Universal reports.

The 26-year-old forward saw his global market value surge after coming off the bench to score the decisive 106th-minute extra-time winner against Argentina in New Jersey. With PSG manager Luis Enrique keen to reunite with his former national team focal point in Paris, the French champions are ready to present a lucrative salary package to lure the player away from Catalonia.

However, with Robert Lewandowski's departure leaving Torres as Hansi Flick's primary natural striker, Barcelona are determined to secure his long-term future. Although La Liga Financial Fair Play regulations may delay the formal registration of a new extension until September, Barcelona plan to meet directly with Torres's representatives in the coming days to convince the newly crowned world champion to remain at Spotify Camp Nou.
