Ferran Torres Leaves Barcelona to Join PSG Until 2031

Paris Saint-Germain have officially completed the signing of Ferran Torres from Barcelona, bringing the Spanish forward to the French capital on a long-term contract. PSG announced on August 15, 2026 that Torres has signed until 2031 and will wear the number 9 shirt.

The transfer ends Torres’ four-and-a-half-year spell with Barcelona and gives him the opportunity to reunite with Luis Enrique, who previously coached him with the Spanish national team. Barcelona also confirmed that an agreement had been reached with PSG for the permanent transfer.

PSG Add More Flexibility to Their Attack

Torres arrives in Paris as a forward capable of playing several roles across the attacking line. During his career he has operated on both wings as well as through the middle, giving Luis Enrique another option when rotating his front line during a demanding domestic and European schedule.

The move also reunites Torres with a coach who knows his qualities well. Luis Enrique gave the forward his senior Spain debut against Germany in the UEFA Nations League in 2020. That familiarity could help Torres adjust more quickly to PSG’s tactical demands.

PSG confirmed that the Spaniard will take the number 9 shirt, underlining the significant role he is expected to have in the squad.

Barcelona Career Ends After 207 Appearances

Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in December 2021 and gradually developed into an important attacking option for the Catalan club. According to Barcelona, he leaves after making 207 appearances and scoring 65 goals.

His final seasons at the club produced some of his strongest performances. In the 2025/26 La Liga campaign, Torres scored 16 league goals and shared the Zarra Trophy with teammate Lamine Yamal as the competition’s leading Spanish scorer.

One of his memorable Barcelona moments came in the 2025 Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, when his goal forced the match into extra time before Jules Kounde scored the winner. Barcelona said Torres departed after collecting seven trophies with the club, including three La Liga titles.

Transfer Reportedly Worth Around €50 Million

Neither Barcelona nor PSG disclosed the official transfer fee in their confirmation statements. However, Detik reported before the move was finalized that the clubs had agreed on a deal worth approximately €50 million, with no additional bonus clauses included.

The sale also makes financial sense for Barcelona, who had been approaching the final year of Torres’ contract. His previous deal was due to expire in June 2027, meaning the summer of 2026 represented an important opportunity for the club to secure a substantial fee rather than risk losing leverage later.

Barcelona are also reshaping their attacking options after changes to the squad, making Torres one of their most valuable outgoing assets during the transfer window.

World Cup Hero Arrives in Paris

Torres joins PSG shortly after enjoying one of the biggest moments of his international career. He was part of the Spain team that won the 2026 FIFA World Cup and scored the only goal of the final against Argentina in extra time. PSG said he was also named Man of the Match in the final.

The achievement added another major trophy to a career that already included Euro 2024 and the UEFA Nations League with Spain. PSG said Torres has accumulated 65 senior international appearances and has been part of Spain’s setup since his debut under Luis Enrique.

His experience at Valencia, Manchester City, Barcelona and international level gives PSG a forward who has already played in La Liga, the Premier League and the Champions League.

A New Chapter Under Luis Enrique

For Torres, the move represents a fresh challenge after spending most of the previous four years in Barcelona. PSG offer him the chance to work again with Luis Enrique while competing for major honours in France and Europe.

The forward described PSG as an ambitious club and thanked the leadership and coaching staff for giving him the opportunity to begin a new stage of his career.

Barcelona, meanwhile, publicly thanked Torres for his commitment during his time at the club and wished him well in Paris.

With his transfer now official, attention will turn to how quickly Torres can adapt to PSG’s system and whether his versatility can earn him a regular place in Luis Enrique’s starting lineup. After 207 appearances in Barcelona colours, the Spanish forward is beginning a new chapter in Paris with a contract that runs until 2031.
