The Catalans, it is claimed, have decided they are now prepared to listen to offers for the attacking talent, which will alert Paris Saint-Germain, who are understood to have made the former Valencia forward a priority.
Ferran made 33 La Liga appearances for Barcelona this term, scoring 16 goals and assisting another two, a productive return that has contributed to the forward believing it is time to move on.
The versatile attacker, it is reported, has made it known to those in his circle that a switch to the Parc des Princes appeals, and the Barcelona hierarchy appear to be ready to sell after a number of months where they have demonstrated little appetite for moving the 26-year-old on.
New Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique (previously in charge of Spain when Ferran was in his squads), is believed to be the orchestrator behind this move – The former tactician knows the strengths and abilities of Ferran, which would see him offer genuine attacking flexibility should he join him at the Paris club.
Ferran scored the winning goal that handed Spain a FIFA World Cup victory over Argentina last December, and after the most successful league campaign of his career at Camp Nou last season, he seems now to favour an immediate move this summer.
PSG, it is said, continue to hold talks for Dro Fernandez – that’s Dro Fernandez’s father and manager, while an agreement between the clubs on Ferran, it has been declared, still doesn’t exist – yet.
