Paris Saint-Germain are actively preparing for various scenarios in the current transfer market. In recent weeks, the club has explored a potential move for Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, as the 26-year-old is highly regarded by Luis Enrique and the club's sporting management.
This interest is largely seen as a contingency plan linked to the future of Bradley Barcola. Negotiations regarding a contract extension for the French forward have been put on hold while he is away with his national team. PSG reportedly value Barcola at 150 million euros, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich monitoring his situation.
If PSG proceed with the move for Torres, it would bring in a different profile of player, as the Spaniard typically operates as a center-forward rather than on the wing. Torres is coming off a productive season, having scored 16 goals in 33 La Liga matches.
