Paris Saint-Germain officially announced the signing of Ferran Torres on Saturday, August 15, 2026.

What contract has Ferran Torres signed?

Paris Saint-Germain state that the Spain international is under contract until 2031.

Neither PSG nor Barcelona disclosed a transfer fee in their official announcements.

Reuters reports that media estimates place the deal at around €50 million.

SportInBref therefore does not present that figure as an officially confirmed transfer fee.

Why have PSG signed Ferran Torres?

Paris are adding a forward who can operate in several attacking positions.

Torres also has a strong previous connection with Luis Enrique.

The current PSG head coach gave him his senior Spain debut in 2020.

They will now work together again at club level.

Torres arrives in Paris only weeks after winning the 2026 World Cup with Spain.

He scored the decisive extra-time goal against Argentina in the final.

What number will Ferran Torres wear at PSG?

His squad number has already been confirmed.

Ferran Torres will wear No.9.

Paris Saint-Germain announced the number directly as part of his presentation.

He therefore joins Luis Enrique’s squad with one of football’s traditional centre-forward numbers.

What was Ferran Torres’ Barcelona record?

Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in December 2021.

Barcelona state that he leaves after making 207 appearances for the club.

He scored 65 goals and provided seven assists.

Torres won seven trophies with Barça: three LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups.

During the 2025-26 season, he also scored 16 league goals to share the Zarra Trophy for the leading Spanish scorer with Lamine Yamal.

Reuters reports that Torres finished the full campaign with 21 goals and three assists in 49 appearances across all competitions.

Could Ferran Torres play against Lens?

PSG’s next match comes immediately.

Paris face RC Lens in the Trophée des Champions final on Sunday, August 16.

Kick-off at Stade Bollaert-Delelis is scheduled for 8:45pm local time.

However, none of the official sources checked have confirmed that Torres will be included in the matchday squad or starting XI.

SportInBref therefore does not describe his Lens debut as confirmed.

PSG’s official match page states that the starting line-ups will be revealed around one hour before kick-off.

When do PSG begin Ligue 1?

After the Lens fixture, PSG begin their Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday, August 23.

Paris host Stade Rennais at the Parc des Princes.

Torres could therefore quickly have several opportunities to make his competitive debut if he is immediately integrated into Luis Enrique’s squad.

His involvement in each fixture will still depend on the club’s sporting and administrative decisions.
