Spain hero Ferran Torres reportedly nears a transfer from Barcelona to PSG within less than two weeks margin
In the middle of a very tight match, Ferran Torres led Spain to victory over Argentina, firing a superb shot. Following this, the 26-year-old striker is reportedly moving closer to a transfer to PSG, which is looking to complete his arrival within the next two weeks. Ferran Torres arrived at the 2026 World Cup with his future very much up in the air, as his contract expires in 2027 and he has not renewed it yet. Despite being a substitute in several matches, he cemented his place in Spain’s history by scoring the winning goal against Argentina. After this, the 26-year-old striker has attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, which is looking to complete his signing from Barcelona in less than two weeks. According to Luis Miguel Sanz, via Diario Sport, Ferran Torres is an absolute priority for PSG, at the express request of head coach Luis Enrique. After the sale of Gonçalo Ramos, the 26-year-old striker would occupy the role of backup striker, alternating with Ousmane Dembélé. With a higher salary offer, he is tempted to leave, and the French side hopes to complete the deal in less than two weeks. Despite PSG’s interest in signing him, Barcelona are reportedly already pushing to complete Ferran Torres’ contract renewal. With his contract running until 2027, he is entering the final year of his deal. However, he is reportedly not very happy with the way he has been treated, as they had promised to renew his contract alongside Jules Koundé. Therefore, he would be looking to leave the club, either this summer or as a free agent. Ferran Torres could be tempted to leave Barcelona not only because of the salary increase. Luis Enrique’s presence is essential to his decision. During his time as Spain head coach, the 26-year-old striker was the first-choice option up front, filling him with confidence. Therefore, he would be willing to play under him again, looking to reach his best version and fight for a starting spot. Ferran Torres #7 of Spain celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal. Not only PSG: Ferran Torres is reportedly on Liverpool’s radar After his major impact off the bench at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ferran Torres has further established as a world-class player. Both Barcelona and PSG are battling strongly over his professional future. However, the 26-year-old striker has attracted the attention of Liverpool, which is looking to strengthen its attack. Therefore, he could make a return to the Premier League, aiming to become a starter in the immediate future. Neither PSG nor Barcelona seem able to guarantee Ferran Torres a starting role, leaving the financial aspect as the main difference. Therefore, Liverpool have expressed interest in securing the signing of the Spanish striker, reports Loïc Tanzi, via L’Equipe. With this in mind, the 26-year-old star could decide his future based on the level of prominence he is offered, as he has been a substitute for several years. Ferran Torres is coming off a very solid 2025-26 season with Barcelona. Beyond his performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he managed to score 21 goals and provide three assists. Therefore, his arrival at Liverpool would be key to strengthening the team’s goalscoring output, as Hugo Ekitike will be sidelined for several months. In addition, he can play on both wings, which would make him a key player for head coach Andoni Iraola.

Report: Johan Manzambi nears €70M Aston Villa transfer after starring at the 2026 World Cup with Switzerland
Amid Switzerland's heroic performances, Johan Manzambi emerged as the team's biggest star. Following his breakout displays, he is reportedly close to completing a €70 million transfer to Aston Villa. Switzerland surprised at the 2026 World Cup, reaching the quarterfinals and putting in a highly competitive performance. While most of the players produced their best form, Johan Manzambi was the team’s standout performer, excelling both as a goalscorer and a playmaker. Following his impressive performances, he is reportedly close to completing a €70 million transfer to Aston Villa, after the club hijacked the deal from Newcastle United. According to Keith Downie of Sky Sports, Newcastle United were quite close to an agreement with SC Freiburg to sign Johan Manzambi. They made a €47 million offer, agreeing everything with the player for his arrival in the Premier League. However, the German team was asking for a slightly higher transfer fee, so negotiations were paused. Because of this, Aston Villa entered and hijacked the deal. After making an impressive €70 million offer, including add-ons, Aston Villa clearly lead the race for Manzambi’s signing. The English side already have an agreement with SC Freiburg, and the player has already informed of his desire to join the team, ruling out Newcastle United. Because of this, Johan will have a long-term contract, arriving as a great prospect. However, the deal has yet to be officially completed, Fabrizio Romano reports. Johan Manzambi starred for Switzerland at the 2026 World Cup Before the 2026 World Cup, the leadership of Switzerland’s attack was centered around Breel Embolo and Noah Okafor. Johan Manzambi was not coming off his best season at SC Freiburg, as he scored 7 goals and provided 9 assists in 47 matches. However, he produced the best version of himself at the anticipated tournament, becoming the national team’s best player. Johan Manzambi #9 of Switzerland celebrates scoring his team’s third goal. Manzambi scored three goals and provided two assists in the four matches he played at the 2026 World Cup. Beyond his productivity, he was the focal point of the attack, with the entire game revolving around him while also shining collectively. However, his impact was limited by a minor knee injury, which ruled him out of action for about two weeks. The Premier League will be Manzambi’s biggest test yet Johan Manzambi is one of Switzerland’s most promising players. At just 20 years old, he has already spent two years playing with SC Freiburg’s first team. However, he has not yet managed to show his best version on a day-to-day basis, as he is a regular starter but does not stand out in terms of goalscoring or creativity. After his outstanding performances at the 2026 World Cup, he seems to have earned a place in the Premier League, but he will face a huge challenge. Unlike the Bundesliga, the Premier League is one of the most physical and competitive leagues in the world. With Morgan Rogers playing in his position, he would have to adapt to another role, such as the wings, or compete with him to become a starter. His biggest challenge will continue to be maintaining his high level, as he has not yet managed to shine in European leagues the way he did at the World Cup.
Ecuador 2-1 Germany: World Cup 2026 – live reaction
⚽️ World Cup kick-off: 4pm EDT/9pm BST/6am AEST⚽️ Third-place table | Player guide | And email ScottPre-match postbag. “Writing from Ecuador, I can say people are understandably disappointed with how the World Cup has gone so far. After finishing second in qualifying, there was a feeling that this group could achieve something, but we were ignoring the unequal distribution of talent in the team: in the back, you have Pacho, who has won two Champions League titles, and Hincapie, who won the Bundesliga and the Premier League, and in the middle, you have Moises Caicedo. Up front, we still have 36-year-old Enner Valencia, who couldn’t really do it at Everton 10 years ago. There’s an exciting generation of Ecuadorian strikers, including the 16-year-old twins currently at Arsenal, but they’re not yet ready. The country was hoping Germany would field their second string of players for this match; turns out they didn’t. On another note, many attribute Ecuador’s success in qualifying to Quito’s altitude, but this overlooks the fact that most of Ecuador’s players come from abroad, so they also have to adjust to the altitude. Also, under the current coach, Ecuador started playing home games in Guayaquil, which is at sea level” – Matthew Carpenter-Arevalo“As well as some underdogs have performed this World Cup there hasn’t really been a big upset victory. Maybe today will be the day for that and if it happens, there would be no better occasion than Ecuador in front of a crowd which is likely to be majority Ecuadorean due to the huge population living in New York and surrounding region” – John in New York Continue reading...
Football Daily | No Scotland, no party? Brazil boogie all over Tartan Army’s World Cup fun
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Sorry, I’m a Lady, The Devil Sent You to Lorado and Sleepy-Time-Toy are reminders that no one remembers the bad times, the mind is selective and focuses on the positives. Baccara’s back catalogue is roughly one song long, the others are rightly forgotten, a figment of only a few people’s imaginations. Scotland needed a certain song and took it around America; well, from Boston to Miami at least. The nation arrived with hope, boasting European champions, Premier League and Serie A winners among their cohort on the pitch, hoping to get through the group while drinking cities dry. All they had to do was get past Haiti, African champions* Morocco and those boys from Brazil.I’ve given up hope of ever being the author of the letter o’ the day with you lot but wish to join the 1,056 other California-based pedants and point out that the aforementioned cheese [Football Daily letters passim] is correctly referred to as ‘Monterey Jack’. Monterey is the city in California, Monterrey (with two Rs) is in Mexico” – Jim Broshar.Congratulations to Scotland for finding new ways to extend the torture of their wonderful fans. In previous tournaments they would go out unbeaten, or in glorious defeat, with the goal of the tournament thrown in for good measure. Now, in keeping with this bloated GWC, they get an extra three-day wait in the Miami heat, while watching one team after another best them on goal difference” – Justin Kavanagh.Fox Sports’ ‘The 32’ is punchier than the name here in Germany at least. As well as quarter-finals (viertelfinale), German has the semis as ‘half finals’ (halbfinale), the round-of-16 as “eighth finals” (achtelfinale), and so naturally the new stage is the ‘16th finals’ (sechszehntelfinale).

Germany’s Kai Havertz: ‘I make runs that look pointless but I’m creating space’
Forward on the misunderstanding of his role and momentum the four-time champions have put together for a winning World Cup campaign after topping their groupKai Havertz is recalling the cocktail of feelings that swirled around his head in Budapest three-and-a-half weeks ago. Arsenal could not have lost the Champions League final in more agonising circumstances but the only available option was to straighten up and start smiling. They were due to set off on a bus around Islington for the Premier League trophy parade at 2pm the following day. Was this really the moment to bathe in a million onlookers’ adulation?“To be honest, it was tough,” says Havertz, whose early goal against Paris Saint-Germain had looked a possible winner for nearly an hour. “After the match, I initially thought we would call the whole thing off. By the next morning, things looked different.” Continue reading...
