Real Madrid set sights on Barcelona forward amid contract uncertainty - report
Real Madrid is reportedly monitoring Barcelona forward Ferran Torres amid contract uncertainty and his recent success in the 2026 World Cup. While Barcelona intends to retain the player, growing interest from clubs like PSG and Real Madrid may force a decision.
Why it matters
High-profile transfer rumors involving rival clubs significantly impact the competitive landscape and financial planning of top-tier European football.
In a major development, L’Equipe reports that Real Madrid have set their sights on FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.
The attacker is dominating the headlines in Spain and across the globe after scoring the match-winning goal for La Roja in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina.
Ferran’s contract with Barcelona expires in 2027, meaning he has less than 12 months left on his deal.
As already reported, PSG are pushing hard to sign the Spanish international, with Luis Enrique keen on a reunion with the attacker after having worked with him in the national team setup before.
Now, it has emerged that Barcelona’s bitter rivals, Real Madrid, are also keeping a close eye on Ferran’s situation and could consider making a move for the forward.
