Ferran Torres, a Spanish forward 26 years old, is starting to justify the nearly 50 million euros that Paris Saint-Germain paid to FC Barcelona in the transfer market. The striker has already scored five goals between Ligue 1 and the Champions League and has just completed a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory against Slovan Bratislava.

The expenditure is beginning to take on another dimension just weeks after the transfer window closed. PSG signed Torres after he finished his season with Barcelona with 21 goals, including the goal that secured the 2026 World Cup for Spain against Argentina.

His debut in the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain confirmed this trend. Torres scored three goals against Slovan Bratislava and played a key role in the massive victory that led the French side to start the competition with a 6-1 win.

He netted his first goal before halftime following a setup by Ousmane Dembélé. In the second half, he added two more goals before being substituted in the 57th minute, securing his first hat-trick as a PSG player.

This wasn't his first scoring performance since leaving FC Barcelona. In his Ligue 1 debut against Rennes, he came on with his team trailing 2-0 at halftime and responded with a double to salvage a 2-2 draw for the Parisian outfit.

In total, he has scored five goals in his early appearances in the French league and Europe. Immediate productivity from a player for whom Paris invested around 50 million, a figure that is now being justified by his offensive impact.

FC Barcelona received close to 50 million

The deal brought in around 50 million euros for Barça, although some reports specify the exact amount at 48.5 million. Torres had joined the Catalan club from Manchester City in January 2022 for a fixed fee of 55 million plus variables.

His departure occurred when he had a contract until June 2027. FC Barcelona agreed to turn his transfer into income for a player who had just completed his best scoring season and helped the team clinch LaLiga in the 2025/26 season.

Torres ended that campaign with 21 goals across all competitions. His performances had elevated his role within the team before PSG entered the market, and Luis Enrique pushed for an acquisition that was eventually finalized in August.

The connection with the coach also explains part of the deal. Luis Enrique had previously worked with Torres in the Spanish national team and knew his ability to play as a center forward or on either wing.

The forward signed with PSG until 2031, indicating that the club made a long-term investment. His sixth professional hat-trick came in his first Champions League game with the French team, adding to the three he scored with Barcelona, one with Manchester City, and one with Spain.

If he maintains this scoring frequency, comparisons with his LaLiga days are inevitable. For now, Ferran Torres has needed just a few weeks to net five times for his new club, and the true test of the 50 million transfer will be whether this production continues as the season progresses and competition for minutes in PSG's attack intensifies.
