Barcelona confirmed today, Saturday, the transfer of forward Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Catalans wrote on their official account on the "X" network: "We have reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain regarding the transfer of Ferran Torres to the French club".
PSG, meanwhile, announced the signing of Torres on a contract running until 2031, handing him the number 9 shirt.

The French champions said, in a statement on their official website: "Ferran Torres was born in Foios, Spain, on 29 February 2000, and began discovering football at an early age through futsal".

They added: "At the age of seven, he joined the Valencia academy. After completing all stages of his development within the club, he became the first player born in the twenty-first century to feature in La Liga, against Eibar on 16 December 2017".

The statement continued: "Ferran Torres played three seasons at the highest level with Valencia, between 2017 and 2020, and also had his first experience in the Champions League. Across 97 matches in the Valencia shirt, the Spanish forward left a clear mark and set a number of records relating to his young age, having become, at the age of 19 years and 324 days, the youngest player in the club's history to play 50 league matches, as well as the first goalscorer born in the twenty-first century in the Champions League with a Spanish club. He won his first honour as a professional in 2019, when he lifted the Copa del Rey".

It went on: "Ferran Torres' brilliance allowed him to move to Manchester City in 2020. Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, the Spanish forward scored his first goal for Manchester City in the League Cup, against Burnley, just six days after his debut in the Premier League against Wolverhampton. In 2021, he took part in Manchester City's journey to the Champions League final, and also won the Premier League and the League Cup with the team".

"During the 2021-2022 season, Ferran Torres began the season with Manchester City, before moving to Barcelona during the winter transfer window," it added. "In total, the Spanish player featured in 43 matches in the Manchester City shirt, during which he scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists".

Finally, the statement continued: "With Barcelona, Ferran Torres established himself as a key element in the Catalan team's attack. Across 207 matches with Barcelona, he scored 65 goals, including his goal in the Copa del Rey final that his team won against Real Madrid in 2025, after he gave his team the chance to play extra time. Ferran Torres enriched his trophy cabinet with three La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cup titles with the Catalan team".
