Paris St Germain have signed Spain’s World Cup final match-winning forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona on a contract ​until 2031, the two clubs announced on Saturday (15 August).

Financial details were not ‌disclosed, but media reports said PSG paid €50 million ($57.83 million) for the 26-year-old.

“I am happy, of course, I think we are improving our team,” PSG head coach Luis Enrique told a ​press conference Saturday.

“It has been a transfer window with players leaving, and ​right now it is important to find this type of ⁠player and we want to continue improving … We are always open to improving ​the team. That is our ambition,” he said.

Portugal forward Goncalo Ramos left PSG ​for AC Milan in the close season, after scoring 12 goals in 45 appearances.

“Everyone agrees it’s important to make changes when a team is not performing, but to keep winning, you ​have to be willing to make tough decisions. You have to be ​ambitious,” added Luis Enrique.

Spain’s World Cup hero Torres arrives in Paris after scoring an extra-time winner in the World Cup final against ‌Argentina.

“I’m ⁠delighted to be beginning a new adventure at such an ambitious club as Paris St Germain,” Torres said in a statement.

“I’d like to thank President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, (PSG’s football advisor) 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.”

The forward scored 21 goals and provided three assists in 49 ​appearances across all competitions for Barca in their last campaign ​as the ⁠club retained their LaLiga title.

Torres joined Barcelona in 2022 after a brief spell at Premier League side Manchester City.

He has scored 25 goals in 65 appearances for ⁠Spain and ​will be reunited with Luis Enrique, having previously ​played under the Spaniard during his time in charge of the national team.
