Liverpool has expressed interest in signing Ferran Torres, a 26-year-old forward from FC Barcelona, in this summer transfer window. The Spanish attacker, who scored the winning goal in the 2026 World Cup final against Argentina, is the new desire of Andoni Iraola.

The Anfield board plans to take advantage of the Catalan club's need to sell the player before he enters his final year of the contract to avoid him leaving without profits in the bank.

FC Barcelona has listed the forward as transferable as his contract expires at the end of the next season, in June 2027. The Spanish club's executives prioritize finalizing his exit this summer to avoid the risk of losing him for free next year and to fulfill financial obligations with Manchester City from his previous transfer.

The market value of the former Valencia player has surged in the past hours due to his international performance. The forward scored the winning goal for the Spanish national team in the World Cup final played last Sunday, capping off a regular season where he also scored 21 goals wearing the Blaugrana shirt.

Competition with PSG and Torres' Fit at Liverpool under Iraola

Liverpool is not advancing alone in planning this transfer and faces a direct duel with Paris Saint-Germain. As reported by journalist Loïc Tanzi from L'Équipe, the French club appreciates the player's tactical versatility and initially saw his signing as a cost-efficient option due to his contractual situation, but the entry of the British side has driven up the final negotiation price.

The need to reinforce the attacking line of the English squad stems from urgent medical and sports criteria. The Merseyside sports management aims to address the absence of Hugo Ekitike, who will be sidelined for most of the upcoming season, prompting the club to seek alternatives with proven experience in British football.

The Premier League side hopes to reverse the trend of the past season, finishing fifth in the overall standings, missing out on the head positions. The arrival of the forward would immediately enhance the tactical setup thanks to his previous knowledge of the English tournament, having previously played under Manchester City before joining Camp Nou.

Deadlines to Close Ferran Torres' Signing

The English team's technical staff is preparing the structure of the initial formal proposal that will be sent to the offices of FC Barcelona in the upcoming weeks of July. The decisive factor in the negotiation will be the economic capacity of the British side to surpass the salary conditions offered by Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool aims to speed up talks with the player's agents before the start of the preseason. The outcome of the deal will hinge on the Spanish team's firmness in maintaining the transfer demands or if they opt to reduce Ferran Torres' final price to expedite the release of salary cap space in their squad.
