La Liga
The transfer market continues at FC Barcelona as they have allowed Ferran Torres, a 26-year-old forward, not to rejoin this Wednesday, August 12 in order to progress in his move to Paris Saint-Germain. The clubs are negotiating his departure after Barcelona turned down an initial proposal of €40 million fixed plus variables.
The permission has been approved by Hansi Flick and alters the planned return of the Spanish internationals. Torres was supposed to attend the session at 9:30 a.m. at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper with Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Pau Cubarsí, following the additional rest days granted after the World Cup.
Ferran Torres enters the decisive phase of the negotiation
Negotiations between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have accelerated in recent hours. Despite the progress, the final amount that will close the transfer between the clubs still needs to be resolved.
PSG already tabled an initial offer of €40 million fixed plus variables. Barcelona rejected it as they believe the offer does not match Torres's current valuation, and negotiations continue to increase the revenue from his departure.
Barcelona's stance is based on a specific economic point. Reports this week indicate that Barcelona's demands exceed €50 million, while both parties are getting closer to finding a figure that will unlock the deal.
Meanwhile, Torres has requested permission to skip Wednesday's training session to finalize his future. This authorization avoids his return to work with Flick while the transfer awaits the final contacts between the clubs.

FC Barcelona expects an improved offer from PSG
The economic aspect remains the main pending point. The FC Barcelona has not accepted the initial €40 million and aims for the next proposal to reflect the value achieved by Ferran Torres after a season where he scored 21 goals in 49 matches with the blue and red team.
His performance has strengthened Barcelona's negotiating position during this market. The club believes PSG's initial figure must increase before definitively allowing the departure of a player frequently used by Flick last season.
Moreover, his potential exit would directly affect the squad planning for LaLiga. The team would lose an option for various attacking positions while the sports management would receive income that could be utilized before the market closure.
Nevertheless, the transfer still needs to be finalized between the clubs. Torres's absence from training on this August 12th reflects the progress in negotiations, but the definitive economic agreement remains the necessary step to execute the operation.
The next hours will determine the future of Ferran Torres. Paris Saint-Germain must improve the conditions rejected by Barcelona and turn the ongoing negotiations into a final agreement. Until then, the forward will remain absent from the scheduled session while the two entities finalize discussions on the transfer fee.
