UEFA Champions League
Latest news from FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain has officially closed the signing of Ferran Torres, a 26-year-old Spanish forward, from FC Barcelona. The deal has been agreed upon for 50 million euros, and the Spanish international has signed with the French team until June 30, 2031, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
The departure marks the end of a four-and-a-half-year period for Torres at Barcelona, bringing the Catalan club a significant income towards the end of the market. The forward arrived at Camp Nou from Manchester City in January 2022 for 55 million euros plus add-ons.
Paris Saint-Germain seals the signing of Ferran Torres
The interest from Paris Saint-Germain materialized into a concrete negotiation in recent days. Luis Enrique, who had previously coached Torres in the Spanish national team, played a direct role in the deal and wanted to add the forward to his squad for the 2026/27 season.
The final agreement entails a payment of around 50 million euros, with additional reports suggesting another 5 million tied to variables. Torres will be linked to PSG for five seasons, until 2031, following only one year left on his contract with Barcelona.
The player leaves FC Barcelona after playing 207 matches and scoring 65 goals in the Blaugrana jersey. During this period, he won three La Liga titles, in addition to national Cup and Supercup triumphs.
His last season also saw an increase in his offensive contribution. Ferran Torres ended the 2025/26 season with 21 goals and subsequently played a crucial role for Spain in the 2026 World Cup, scoring the winning goal against Argentina in the final.
FC Barcelona receives 50 million euros
The deal directly impacts the FC Barcelona transfer market. The club earns 50 million euros for a player who was in the final year of his contract, thus avoiding the risk of him leaving for free in 2027 in the absence of a renewal.
Barça had previously turned down a lower initial offer. Talks progressed when Paris Saint-Germain raised their proposal to a figure close to 50 million, prompting the exchange of necessary documentation to complete the transfer.
The sale also diminishes Hansi Flick's offensive alternatives. Torres had taken on a more significant role as a center forward last season, and his departure forces the club to reorganize an attacking segment that could still undergo changes before the end of the market.
For PSG, the Spanish arrival fills a void in their attack following the departure of Gonçalo Ramos. Torres can occupy all three attacking positions and will reunite with Luis Enrique, who is familiar with his performance after regularly selecting him for Spain.
With the deal finalized, the next step will be Torres's immediate integration into his new team's dynamics. Paris Saint-Germain secures the forward until 2031, while FC Barcelona now has an additional 50 million euros to pursue their remaining summer market operations.
