Paris St Germain have signed Spain’s World Cup-winning forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona on a contract until 2031, the two clubs announced on Saturday. The blockbuster deal brings one of Europe’s most talked-about and dynamic attackers to the French capital just weeks after his historic heroics in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Argentina, where he scored the sole and match-winning goal.
Financial details were not disclosed, but media reports said PSG paid €50 million ($57.83 million) for the 26-year-old.
“I’m delighted to be beginning a new adventure at such an ambitious club as Paris St Germain,” Torres said in a statement.
