PSG sign World Cup winner Torres from Barcelona

Ferran Torres, the Spanish footballer who scored the winning goal for his country in the 2026 World Cup final, has transferred from Barcelona to join Paris St-Germain. The 26-year-old has agreed to a contract with the French champions until 2031, with an estimated transfer fee of approximately 50 million euros (£42.7m). Torres' move to PSG comes after he scored the extra-time winner against Argentina, contributing to Spain's victory and their second men's World Cup title.

At Barcelona, Torres had an impressive season, netting 21 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions and providing three assists. His goal-scoring prowess earned him three assists for Barcelona, who secured the La Liga title that season. As Paris St-Germain's manager, Luis Enrique, who previously coached Torres at Barcelona, played a significant role in his transfer to the French club.

PSG, under the guidance of former Barcelona coach and player, Luis Enrique, has secured two consecutive Champions League titles. Torres' signing is the second high-profile forward the French giants have acquired this summer, following the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco.

The Paris St-Germain forward, who joined Barcelona in 2022 after spending two years at Manchester City, has scored 25 goals in 65 appearances for Spain. He made his international debut under Luis Enrique, the same coach who facilitated his transfer to PSG.

While Torres is set to bolster Paris St-Germain's attack, there is a possibility that Bradley Barcola, a PSG forward, might leave the club this summer, with Liverpool expressing interest in the player.
