“They have to show me that they want me, come and negotiate and in the end it’s all a matter of discussion. I have a contract with Barcelona. It’s true that in football, you never know what can happen, but as I have a contract, I can wait and decide for myself. It’s always a good thing when teams like these (PSG, Editor’s note) want you. In football, everything can change in a minute. You never know. I have to be ready for anything”. These were the words of Ferran Torres when asked about his future on Monday evening.
Words that caused a reaction in Barcelona. Many fans didn’t really like it, while the managers were also surprised. Mundo Deportivo makes a new point this evening, and explains for example that internally, we believe that the club has always been on his side, even when he was very criticized by public opinion. Barcelona decision-makers will no longer increase the offer that has already been proposed. But above all, they are starting to doubt the interest of PSG.
Barça calls the bluff
Indeed, internally, some think that PSG’s interest does not really exist, or at least that Paris Saint-Germain does not really plan to attack soon. And for good reason, the Barcelona people still have not had the slightest contract with their Parisian counterparts, and they really doubt that an offer will arrive. They believe that Ferran Torres may simply be playing with this supposed Parisian interest in order to get the best possible contract at Barcelona.
The player would like to take advantage of his new popularity after his goal in the World Cup final and the Parisian threat to put pressure on Barcelona management, pushing them to offer him the best possible contract. This is also why Barça seems rather calm in this matter. The ball is therefore in PSG’s court…
