Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has officially secured the signing of Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a fee of £42.7 million. The Spanish forward gained prominence by scoring the decisive goal in the 2026 World Cup final against Argentina, helping his national team clinch the title.

Transfer Details

Torres, who will don the No 9 jersey in Paris, has committed to a contract that runs until 2031. His transfer is seen as a strategic move for PSG, who had previously targeted him despite already adding other players in similar positions, including Maghnes Akliouche.

Barcelona's Financial Strategy

During his time at Barcelona, Torres made 207 appearances and scored 65 goals, contributing to the club's success, which included a Copa del Rey final victory against Real Madrid. His departure may also assist Barcelona in their ongoing efforts to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri, as the club looks to free up funds for the transfer.

Barcelona recently had a £55 million bid for Rodri rejected by City, but they remain committed to pursuing the midfielder as negotiations continue.
