Ferran Torres Ends Barcelona Stint, Joins Paris Saint-Germain
Ferran Torres has officially concluded his tenure at FC Barcelona, signing with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as announced by the club.

Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in January 2022 and spent nearly five years with the team, playing a crucial role in their achievements, including three La Liga titles, three Spanish Super Cups, and a Copa del Rey. After contributing to Spain’s victory in the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer, Torres looks forward to a successful stint with the reigning European champions, having signed a five-year contract that extends until 2031.
