Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Spanish forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona, securing the World Cup final goalscorer on a long-term contract running until 2031. Both clubs officially confirmed the transfer on Saturday, 15 August, marking a significant piece of business in the summer transfer window.
While neither PSG nor Barcelona publicly disclosed the official financial details of the agreement, media reports indicate that the French champions paid a transfer fee in the region of €50 million to secure the attacker’s services.
The move represents a major new chapter in the 26-year-old forward’s career as he transitions from Spanish football to France’s top flight. Torres originally joined Barcelona in January 2022 from English Premier League champions Manchester City. Over his four-year tenure in Catalonia, he established himself as a versatile attacking option across the front line, contributing key goals in domestic and European competitions while refining his tactically flexible style of play.
Internationally, Torres has accumulated an impressive record for Spain. He has scored 25 goals in 65 appearances for La Roja, establishing himself as a reliable asset on the international stage. His career reached its pinnacle during the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup, where his goalscoring performance in the final helped seal world championship glory for Spain.
At the Parc des Princes, Torres reunites with PSG manager Luis Enrique, under whose guidance he previously played during Enrique’s spell as head coach of the Spanish national team. That pre-existing relationship played a decisive role in attracting the forward to Paris, as he fits comfortably into the manager’s high-pressing, fluid tactical philosophy.
Expressing his enthusiasm upon signing, Torres noted that he was thrilled to embark on a new adventure with an ambitious club like Paris Saint-Germain. He extended his gratitude to PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Strategic Sports Adviser Luís Campos, and manager Luis Enrique for providing the opportunity, adding that his primary target is to help the team capture as many trophies as possible in the coming seasons.
