Following his impressive performances with the Spain national team at the 2026 World Cup, Ferran Torres’ name has resurfaced in the transfer market, with Real Madrid entering the race to monitor his situation at Barcelona. The move could become one of the most exciting transfers of the summer window.
According to the French newspaper L’Équipe, Real Madrid has reopened its pursuit of the 26-year-old Spanish forward following his crucial contribution to Spain’s World Cup triumph, including scoring the winning goal in the final against Argentina, which significantly boosted his sporting and market value.

The report indicates that Real Madrid’s management is closely monitoring the player’s situation, especially since its interest in him is nothing new. The club previously attempted to sign him when he was playing for Valencia before his move to Manchester City, although the current circumstances appear quite different.
Despite Ferran Torres being under contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2027, his future remains uncertain due to the lack of any clear progress regarding a contract renewal. This has kept all options open ahead of the close of the transfer window.
The newspaper added that the player’s outstanding performances at the World Cup prompted Barcelona to reassess his situation. The club had set his asking price at around €50 million before the tournament, but his exceptional form led it to reconsider his future and the possibility of extending his contract.
Meanwhile, the need to generate funds to support Barcelona’s summer transfer business, particularly a potential move for Julián Álvarez, could lead the Catalan club to consider offers for Ferran Torres if they meet the club’s valuation.
The player represents an attractive option for Real Madrid thanks to his ability to play across the entire front line, which aligns with the team’s attacking needs for the upcoming season.
Despite Real Madrid’s interest, L’Équipe confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain remains the leading contender in the race to sign the Spanish international, as head coach Luis Enrique is keen to work with him again following their successful spell together with the Spain national team.
