Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reached an agreement in principle to sign Barcelona forward Ferran Torres for almost €50 million ($57 million), according to Spanish media reports.
The 26-year-old Spain international is set to join the French champions on a five-year contract after the two European giants reached a deal on Thursday.
The remaining paperwork and Torres’ medical are expected to complete the transfer.

PSG’s latest agreement comes days after Barcelona rejected an initial €40 million offer for Torres.
The Spanish champions were reluctant to lose the forward with only one year remaining on his contract, but the improved offer has reportedly persuaded the club to sanction his departure.
Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in 2021 for more than €55 million.
Since Hansi Flick took charge in 2024, he has largely operated as a centre-forward and provided competition for veteran Poland striker Robert Lewandowski.
World Cup hero leaves Barcelona
Torres leaves Barcelona after scoring 40 goals in 94 appearances across all competitions over the past two seasons.
