Chelsea line up €80 million move for Ferran Torres

Chelsea will reportedly look to sign 25-year-old Spanish international Ferran Torres from Barcelona in a deal worth €80 million in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Ferran Torres is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Blues are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Barcelona forward has emerged as a target for the West London outfit.

The 2024/25 FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Europa Conference League winners are ready to pay €80 million to secure the Spaniard’s services in the summer transfer window. The latest report has suggested that while “the Valencian’s performance has been outstanding, a figure close to €80 million would be virtually impossible to refuse” for the financially-stricken Barcelona.

How has Ferran Torres fared at Barcelona so far?

Ferran Torres has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Barcelona from Manchester City in a surprise move in January 2022. While the 25-year-old has been productive in the final third for the Blaugrana, he had to bide his time after being behind Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal in the pecking order. However, that has changed in the 2025/26 season, as he has been a regular for Barcelona.

The Spanish international has scored 15 goals and provided one assist in only 1,639 minutes of game time across 28 appearances in all competitions. Meanwhile, Torres’s exploits have piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, with Chelsea among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Premier League return on the horizon?

Ferran Torres has been on Chelsea’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as the Blues are combing the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window. While Liam Rosenior has a stacked offensive unit, his team has lacked productivity from the flanks.

Additionally, Torres’s versatility makes him an appealing target for the West London club. The latest report has revealed that Chelsea will soon submit a bid worth around €80 million to sign the 25-year-old Spaniard from Barcelona in the summer transfer window.

The report has also suggested that while “the Valencian’s performance has been outstanding, a figure close to €80 million would be virtually impossible to refuse” for the financially-stricken Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish international returns to the Premier League by joining Chelsea in the coming months.
