Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Spanish international forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona, securing the 2026 World Cup final scorer on a long-term contract running until June 2031. Both clubs confirmed the deal on Saturday, 15 August, finalising one of the standout moves of the summer transfer window.
While the exact financial terms were not officially published, media reports indicate that the French champions paid a fee of around €50 million to bring the 26-year-old attacker to the Parc des Princes.
The transfer concludes a four-year tenure in Catalonia for Torres, who originally made the move to Barcelona from English Premier League champions Manchester City in January 2022. Operating across the front three, his pressing discipline, off-the-ball movement, and adaptability made him a reliable fixture in both La Liga and European fixtures.
Internationally, Torres boasts a strong record for Spain, having scored 25 goals in 65 appearances. His career reached a crowning moment during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where his decisive goal in the final helped secure the trophy for La Roja.
In Paris, Torres reunites with head coach Luis Enrique, having previously played under his guidance during Enrique’s spell in charge of the Spanish national side. That pre-existing tactical familiarity is expected to facilitate his integration into PSG’s dynamic front line.
Speaking after completing his medical and contract formalities, Torres expressed delight at taking on a fresh challenge in the French capital. He voiced his gratitude to PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Strategic Sports Adviser Luís Campos, and Luis Enrique for placing their trust in him, stating that his singular focus is helping the Parisian outfit secure major domestic and European silverware in the years ahead.
