Ajax Signs 19-Year-Old Jofre Torrents from Barcelona
Ajax has confirmed the acquisition of 19-year-old left-back Jofre Torrents from Barcelona, the reigning La Liga champions. The promising player has committed to a four-year contract that will keep him in Amsterdam until the summer of 2030.
Torrents began his journey at La Masia when he was just ten years old, swiftly rising through the youth ranks and making it to the first team last season. He made a total of four appearances for Barcelona, including three in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey.
The young defender has also represented Spain at various youth levels, including a standout performance at the Under-19 European Championships last year. His transfer makes him the second player from that tournament team to join Ajax, following Jano Monserrate’s earlier move this summer.
Jordi Cruyff, Ajax’s Technical Director, praised Torrents’ talent. “Jofre is a very talented player who has developed strongly over the past few years. We are pleased that we have been able to sign him at Ajax. There was interest from several clubs, but he very consciously chose our plans and vision. We look forward to taking the next steps together with him.”
