Real Madrid has shown renewed interest in Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, who scored the decisive goal for Spain in the World Cup final. L'Équipe reports that Real Madrid's management is seriously monitoring the situation. Ferran Torres's contract with Barcelona runs until the summer of 2027. It was reported that before the World Cup, Barcelona asked for approximately 50 million euros for him. His performance at the tournament has strengthened his negotiating position and reopened the possibility of him signing a new contract. Real Madrid's interest in Ferran Torres dates back to his time at Valencia, and the club attempted to sign him prior to his transfer to Manchester City. The club could leverage Barcelona's financial considerations, given Barcelona aims to raise funds for the signing of Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid, and selling Torres could facilitate that transfer. A direct transfer between Barcelona and Real Madrid would be highly complicated because of their rivalry.
