According to reports from RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain have swiftly identified a new attacking target following the collapse of the Yan Diomande pursuit. The capital club is now eyeing Ferran Torres, a player Luis Enrique knows intimately and is eager to manage once again.
Paris Saint-Germain are stepping up their summer recruitment drive. Determined to bolster their attacking ranks, PSG are wasting no time after seeing their move for Diomande fall through. The Parisian hierarchy have reportedly identified the FC Barcelona forward as a prime candidate, believing his profile perfectly suits the French champions’ needs.
Ferran Torres becomes PSG’s new priority
According to ‘RMC Sport’, Ferran Torres is now a primary target to strengthen the frontline this summer. The Spanish international is reportedly attracted by the project in Paris, largely due to the presence of Luis Enrique in the dugout. The pair know each other intimately from their time together with the Spanish national team. The PSG coach highly values the versatility of his former charge, who is equally adept on either wing or as a central striker. This relationship of trust could prove a decisive factor should PSG choose to formalise their interest.
Deal estimated between €40m and €50m
A move for Ferran Torres could be brokered for a fee between 40 and 50 million euros. It is a substantial figure, yet one deemed affordable by the Parisian board for a 26-year-old player who is considered to have plenty of room for growth.
FC Barcelona, for their part, could be open to a significant sale as they look to raise capital and reduce their wage bill. It now remains to be seen whether PSG will lodge an official bid in the coming days.
