It was a matter of time and the negotiations have come to a successful conclusion. Barcelona confirmed to this newspaper that this Thursday afternoon they have reached a preliminary agreement with PSG for the sale of the Valencian forward Ferran Torres. The amount is nearly 50 million euros, in a deal that does not include variables. Ferran will sign a contract with Luis Enrique’s team for five seasons. The attacker had not rejoined work with Barcelona, with the club’s permission, to certify his departure. In this way, Ferran can now travel to Paris. The Foios native informed Barça last week that he wanted to leave. His contract with the blaugrana ended at the end of the next season. Initially, Barcelona was waiting for him after being the hero of the World Cup final to start negotiating his renewal in September. But Ferran made it clear that he preferred to go to Paris.

Now, with the agreement between clubs verbally completed, the next step is to put everything in writing. No problems are expected. Beyond this, the medical examination procedure will be missing before the signing can be made official.
Barcelona recovers almost all the investment made for the Valencian in 2022
Barça considers it a very good operation because it gets an amount for the player close to what it cost in the winter market of 2022, when they paid 55 million plus 10 in variables. If they had sold him for a higher price, they would have had to pay an extra amount to City, and if they had renewed him, eight million would also have been due to the English team, according to one of the clauses signed then.
