World Cup winner Ferran Torres signs for PSG

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has acquired Spanish international forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a reported 50 million euros ($58 million). The 26-year-old striker, who scored the only goal in the recent World Cup final, will be with the French champions until 2031. Torres rejoins his former coach Luis Enrique, who previously managed Spain and gave him his international debut in 2020.

The former player of Valencia and Manchester City, nicknamed "The Shark," scored 65 goals in 207 appearances for Barcelona during his four and a half seasons at the club. Barcelona expressed their gratitude to Torres for his commitment, while PSG's move may prompt Liverpool to pursue PSG's 23-year-old wing Bradley Barcola, who also impressed at the World Cup.
