World Cup winner Ferran Torres signs for PSG from Barcelona

Spanish World Cup winner Ferran Torres has signed with Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona, according to a statement released on Saturday. The 26-year-old forward cost the Ligue 1 champions a reported 50 million euros ($58 million). PSG is thrilled to announce the signing of Torres, who will be with the club until 2031. The Spanish star, who played for former Valencia and Manchester City teammates, is reuniting with coach Luis Enrique, who also gave Torres his international debut in 2020.

Torres, a top-class international player, can play anywhere in attack, according to Enrique, and is expected to adapt perfectly to the French club's style. The forward, who also won Euro 2024 with Spain, expressed his delight at joining such an ambitious club and thanked PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Luis Campos, and coach Luis Enrique for the opportunity.

Torres, who scored the only goal in the World Cup final against Argentina, has won three La Liga titles with Barcelona and joined the Catalan giants from Man City in 2022. Barcelona expressed its gratitude to Torres for his commitment over the last four and a half seasons and wishes him the best for his next chapter. This move may raise Premier League side Liverpool's hopes of signing PSG's 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola, whose services PSG is asking for around 150 million euros ($173 million).
