Ferran Torres renounced rumors about PSG on the eve of the start of the 2026 World Cup

Spain striker Ferran Torres firmly shut down any talk of his club future at a press conference ahead of the national team's opening game at the World Cup in North America. In recent days, rumors about the possible transfer of the 26-year-old Spaniard to Paris Saint-Germain have been actively circulating in the European press. It is reported that the head coach of the reigning Champions League holders Luis Enrique, who knows Torres very well from working together in the national team, is personally interested in this transfer. However, the player himself, whose current contract with Barcelona runs until 2027, does not want to be distracted by any speculation. "I don't know, and I don't care right now," Torres said during a conversation with reporters on Sunday, on the eve of the team's last training session in Atlanta. "Tomorrow the main thing is to get three points, to make a good debut in the tournament... Where do I see myself? Tomorrow I see myself on the field, playing against the Cape Verde national team." Ferran approaches the World Cup as a key attacking player. Last season was extremely successful for him: the striker scored 16 goals, helped the Catalans win La Liga and won an iron place in the starting line-up for Barca. His confident performance even forced Camp Nou star Robert Lewandowski. In the Spanish national team, Torres is competing fiercely for the center forward position with Mikel Oyarzabal. At the same time, he is a versatile option for the coach and is ready to play on the wing, which is especially relevant given the doubts about the optimal fitness of Lamin Yamal and Nico Williams. Ferran also noted that the presence of teammates in the national team, in particular Pedri and Yamal, significantly facilitates tactical interaction: "When you play with the same players all year or many years in a row, it's a huge plus. You feel more comfortable, with more confidence. It's much easier to adapt." The Spanish national team will begin its journey to the 2026 World Cup in Group H. Furia Roja will play the first two matches against Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia in the American Atlanta, after which he will go to Guadalajara, Mexico for a crucial match against Uruguay. Speaking about the importance of the first game against the absolute debutants of the tournament, Torres emphasized maximum concentration: "This match is as important as every game at the World Cup. We need to start strongly, impose our style of play and make sure we get the three points." We will remind, recently there was information that.
