Ferran Torres nears Barcelona exit after rejecting contract offer
Fresh off scoring Spain's World Cup final winner, Torres is increasingly likely to leave Barcelona after deeming the club's latest contract renewal offer unacceptable.
Contract offer rejected as exit grows more likely
Ferran Torres is increasingly likely to leave Barcelona after deeming the club's latest contract renewal offer completely unacceptable. The 26-year-old's current deal runs to 2027, and with talks stalled, suitors are expected to test Barcelona's resolve before the window closes.
Fresh off the World Cup final winner
Torres scored the 106th-minute extra-time winner as Spain beat 10-man Argentina 1–0 in the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, capping a tournament in which he further boosted his market value and, with it, his leverage in contract talks.
The latest twist in a busy Barcelona summer
The uncertainty over Torres comes after Barcelona signed Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for £69m and made Hamza Abdelkarim's loan move permanent, with Oriol Busquets sold to Al-Ahli to help fund the business.
