PSG Set to Complete €55m Signing of World Cup Star Ferran Torres

Paris Saint-Germain have reached a verbal deal with Barcelona to acquire Spanish forward Ferran Torres for a reported €55 million. The move will see Torres reunite with manager Luis Enrique in the French capital after the player declined contract extension offers at Barcelona.

Details of the Transfer

According to reports from Sport, PSG and Barcelona have agreed on a package totaling €55 million, which includes bonuses. Initially, PSG’s €40 million offer was turned down by the Catalan club. They then improved their bid to €50 million fixed, with an additional €5 million in add-ons. This figure matches what Barcelona paid to bring the 26-year-old to Spain in 2021.

Torres is set to fill the gap left by striker Goncalo Ramos, who transferred to AC Milan earlier this summer, providing PSG with a much-needed attacking option.

Reunion with Luis Enrique Influences Decision

A significant factor in Torres’s decision to join PSG is the presence of Luis Enrique, who coached him during his time as Spain’s national team manager. Enrique personally contacted Torres to discuss his tactical plans and assured him of considerable playing time through squad rotation.

The manager consistently backed Torres even when the forward faced criticism from fans and media. Their relationship is also personal; Torres previously dated Enrique’s daughter. This strong mutual respect played a key role in convincing Torres to move to Paris instead of staying in Catalonia. Enrique’s direct involvement was crucial in securing the transfer.

Impressive Form but Undervalued at Barcelona

During the 2025-26 season, Torres netted 16 goals in 33 La Liga matches for Barcelona. He further boosted his reputation by scoring in the final of Spain’s victorious 2026 World Cup campaign.

Despite these achievements, Torres rejected Barcelona’s contract renewal offers, feeling undervalued by the club’s management. His departure leaves Barcelona searching for alternatives, although he remained well-liked by teammates throughout his stay.

Final Steps Before Joining PSG

With the clubs having agreed on terms, only administrative formalities remain before the deal is finalized. Torres is expected to complete the transfer within days.

He will report to Barcelona’s training ground on Wednesday mainly to say farewell to his teammates and staff before traveling to France. Upon arrival in Paris, Torres will undergo a medical exam before signing his contract, adding another potent attacker to Enrique’s squad.
