Paris Saint-Germain has officially signed Ferran Torres, the Spanish attacker who scored the decisive goal in the 2026 World Cup final. The 26-year-old has committed to a five-year deal with the French champions, running until 2031.

Torres arrives from Barcelona, where he spent four years and scored 65 goals. His transfer fee is reported to be around 50 million euros. The move follows PSG's recent departure of Gonçalo Ramos, who moved to AC Milan.

"I am very happy to start a new adventure in a club as ambitious as Paris Saint-Germain," Torres stated on the club's website. He thanked President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos, and coach Luis Enrique for the opportunity. Torres, nicknamed "El Tiburón" (The Shark), will wear the number 9 jersey for PSG.

The versatile attacker began his career at Valencia before a prolific spell with Manchester City. His transfer to Paris marks a new chapter after his contributions to Spain' World Cup victory and his time in Catalonia.
