Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Spanish World Cup-winning forward Ferran Torres, with the attacker joining the French champions on a contract running until 2031.
The club announced the move on its official website on Saturday, confirming that Torres will wear the number nine shirt.
Born in Foios, Spain, on February 29, 2000, Torres began playing football through futsal before joining the Valencia CF academy at the age of seven.
He rose through the ranks at Valencia and made history in December 2017 when he became the first player born in the 21st century to feature in La Liga, making his debut against Eibar.
During his three seasons with Valencia, Torres made 97 appearances and set several age-related records.
“In 97 matches for Valencia, Ferran Torres left a lasting impression and set a number of new records for his age, becoming, at 19 years and 324 days, the youngest player in the club’s history to have played 50 league matches, as well as the first goalscorer born in the 21st century in the Champions League for a Spanish club,” PSG said.
Torres won his first professional trophy in 2019 when Valencia lifted the Copa del Rey.
His performances earned him a move to Manchester City in 2020, where he played under Pep Guardiola.
“Ferran Torres scored his first goal for the Cityzens in the EFL Cup against Burnley, just six days after making his Premier League debut against Wolverhampton,” PSG said.
The Spanish forward helped Manchester City reach the Champions League final in 2021 and also won the Premier League and League Cup during his time at the club.
He made 43 appearances for City, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists, before joining Barcelona during the 2021–22 winter transfer window.
At Barcelona, Torres, nicknamed “El Tiburón” — Spanish for “The Shark” — became an important member of the club’s attack.
PSG said: “In 207 matches for FC Barcelona, he found the net 65 times, including in the Copa del Rey final victory against Real Madrid in 2025, where he helped his team force the game into extra time.”
Torres won three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups during his time with Barcelona.
His international career began with Spain’s youth teams, where he won the European Under-17 Championship in 2017 and the Under-19 European Championship in 2019.
The forward has since become an established member of the senior national team, earning 65 caps.
Torres said, “I’m delighted to be beginning a new adventure at such an ambitious club as Paris Saint-Germain.
“I’d like to thank President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos and coach Luis Enrique for giving me the opportunity to join the team, which I hope to help win as many trophies as possible.”
Luis Enrique handed Torres his senior debut in 2020 during a Nations League match against Germany, and he subsequently represented Spain at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
He went on to win the Nations League with Spain in 2023 before helping the country claim the European Championship in Germany in 2024.
PSG said Torres has now added the World Cup to his international honours.
