The 26-year-old is reportedly expected to meet club officials once he has had time to recover from nearly two months away on international duty and the celebrations that followed Spain's victory.
The discussions should establish whether Torres is committed to staying at the Catalan club or is willing to consider a move elsewhere.
Torres elevated his status by scoring the extra-time winner against Argentina in the World Cup final, sealing Spain’s second FIFA World Cup crown.
In doing so, he echoed Andrés Iniesta’s iconic strike that delivered the nation’s first title in 2010, becoming Barcelona’s latest player to decide football’s biggest match.
The winger’s influence stretched well beyond the final. He also supplied Mikel Merino’s goal in the win over Portugal and produced consistently impressive displays throughout the tournament, strengthening his standing with Spain coach Luis de la Fuente. His success has been built on persistence, regularly making an impact whether selected from the start or introduced from the bench.
Barcelona continue to view Torres as a key figure for next season and see him as part of the club’s long-term plans while searching for an eventual successor to Robert Lewandowski. However, with only one year remaining on his contract, resolving his situation has become a priority.
The club hopes to extend his deal, although formal negotiations are unlikely before September because of salary-cap limitations. An extension would also activate a 7-8 million-euro payment owed to Manchester City under the original transfer agreement.
Should Torres opt to leave, PSG remain the favourites to sign him, with Luis Enrique, who placed considerable trust in him as Spain manager, continuing to push for his arrival.
