Overview
- Barcelona say they will offer Ferran Torres a renewal within the club’s wage policy but will consider a sale only if PSG submits a formal bid or the player asks to leave.
- The club prefers Torres to request a transfer because reports say a sale initiated by Barcelona could trigger an €8 million payment to Manchester City under the original transfer terms.
- Barcelona’s primary striker target, Julián Álvarez, remains effectively unavailable after Atlético Madrid reiterated it will not sell him to a domestic rival and is holding out for his full release clause.
- Benfica have declared Vangelis Pavlidis virtually untouchable after a four‑goal qualifier and two 30‑goal seasons, meaning Barcelona would need an exceptional offer to prise him away.
- PSG’s reported pursuit of Mika Godts and Maghnes Akliouche could create space for Bradley Barcola to move, a development that has accelerated Liverpool’s interest and may shift several linked transfer plans.
