They don't trust their own hero?! Barcelona suspects Ferran Torres of playing a clever game

Barcelona is ready to let go of the man who scored the World Cup final's winning goal—but only on their terms.

Details: According to sources, some members of Barcelona’s board suspect that Ferran Torres is trying to capitalize on his current popularity to negotiate a more lucrative deal. Still, the Catalans won’t force the player to stay: the club will allow him to leave if he wishes and a suitable offer arrives.

Torres has become a national hero in Spain after netting the decisive goal against Argentina in the World Cup final, and now his status—and his ambitions—have soared. The forward has publicly hinted that the club needs to prove its commitment to him, carefully dodging direct questions about his future. The option of a move to Luis Enrique’s PSG remains on the table, while the 26-year-old Spaniard’s contract with Barcelona runs until the summer of 2027. However, the Catalan giants are not prepared to improve his financial terms; any extension would only be on the current conditions.

Interesting fact: one of the hidden reasons for Barcelona’s caution is a clause in the 2022 deal—if Torres renews his contract, the club must pay Manchester City an additional €8 million.
