Paris St-Germain have agreed a deal in principle to sign Barcelona forward Ferran Torres for around 50 million euros (£42.7m).

Torres, 26, was given permission to miss training this week as he finalised his move. The Spain international's stock has risen considerably after helping Spain win their second men's World Cup this summer, scoring an extra-time winner against Argentina.

Having scored 21 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona last season, Torres also provided three assists and helped the club win the La Liga title. PSG, managed by former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, are actively bolstering their attack.

The Parisians could lose forward Bradley Barcola this summer, with Liverpool showing interest. If completed, Torres will be PSG's second major forward signing this summer following the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco. PSG recently added to their trophy cabinet by defeating Aston Villa 2-1 to win the Uefa Super Cup.
