But according to Foot Mercato, it has also been told by Torres that he would prefer a move to Parc des Princes.Torres moved from Manchester City to Barcelona in 2021 for an initial fee of around $63 million (£47 million). His contract situation has meant that several clubs, including Liverpool, have been linked.Liverpool.com says: PSG signing two of Akliouche, Godts, and Torres would surely allow Barcola to leave.
