World Cup winner Torres signs for Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint Germain has secured the signing of Spain's World Cup-winning striker Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a reported €50 million, the club announced on Saturday. The 26-year-old, nicknamed "The Shark," will be with the French side until 2031. Torres, who scored the only goal in last month's World Cup final, played as a substitute in the match and ended up being the hero of Argentina's title loss.

Prior to joining Barcelona in the 2021/22 transfer window, Torres spent four and a half seasons with his current club, netting 65 goals in 207 appearances, including a crucial role in the Copa del Rey final victory against Real Madrid in 2025. Barcelona expressed their gratitude to Torres for his commitment and wished him well in his new chapter.

The move could potentially impact Liverpool's pursuit of PSG's 23-year-old wing Bradley Barcola, with the two clubs having been in negotiations for weeks and PSG's asking price being estimated at around €150 million.
