PSG Near €55m Deal to Sign World Cup Star Ferran Torres from Barcelona
Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Barcelona to sign Spanish forward Ferran Torres in a deal valued at €55 million, including bonuses. The 26-year-old World Cup winner rejected contract renewal offers from Barcelona and is expected to join his former Spain coach Luis Enrique in Paris.
Details of the Transfer
According to Sport, PSG's initial €40 million offer was declined by Barcelona, prompting the French club to increase it to €50 million fixed with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons. This fee matches the amount Barcelona paid to acquire Torres in 2021. He will fill the gap left by striker Goncalo Ramos, who moved to AC Milan earlier this summer.
Reuniting with Luis Enrique
A major factor behind Torres' move is his relationship with Luis Enrique, PSG’s manager who coached him during his time with the Spanish national team. Enrique personally contacted Torres to discuss his vision and guaranteed regular playing time through squad rotation. Despite criticism Torres faced, Enrique always backed him on the international stage. Their connection runs deeper as Torres previously dated Enrique's daughter, which strengthened their mutual trust and influenced the transfer decision.
Torres’ Time at Barcelona
During the 2025-26 season, Torres scored 16 goals in 33 La Liga appearances and was instrumental in Spain’s victory at the 2026 World Cup, scoring in the final match. Still, he felt undervalued by Barcelona’s management and chose not to extend his contract. Although popular with teammates, he decided a fresh start was needed for his career.
Next Steps
Only administrative steps remain before Torres officially becomes a PSG player. He is expected to visit Barcelona’s training ground to say goodbye before flying to Paris. Upon arrival, he will complete medical tests and sign his new contract, adding another attacking option for Enrique.
