Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Spanish forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona in a deal worth up to €50 million, bringing an end to the 26-year-old’s four-year spell in Catalonia.

Barcelona officially confirmed the departure on Saturday with a brief statement: “FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain reach agreement on transfer of Ferran Torres to the French club.”

A Record-Breaking Departure for Barcelona

With a guaranteed fee of €45 million rising toward €50 million with add-ons, Torres's departure instantly ranks as the fifth most expensive sale in Barcelona's history, according to market data from Transfermarkt.

The top five sales in Barcelona history now stand as:

• Neymar – €222 million (Paris Saint-Germain)
• Arthur Melo – €80 million (Juventus)
• Luís Figo – €60 million (Real Madrid)
• Ousmane Dembélé – €50 million (Paris Saint-Germain)
• Ferran Torres – €45-50 million (Paris Saint-Germain)

During his four-year stay at the Camp Nou following his arrival from Manchester City, Torres registered 65 goals and helped the club capture three La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, and three Spanish Super Cups.

Reunion with Dembélé and Luis Enrique in Paris

Torres quickly linked up with his new teammates at PSG’s training headquarters on Saturday morning, where he was spotted taking to the pitch alongside former Blaugrana teammate Ousmane Dembélé. The move also sees Torres reunite with former Spain national team manager Luis Enrique in the French capital.

Who Inherits the Vacant No. 7 Shirt at Camp Nou?

Torres's departure leaves Barcelona's prestigious No. 7 shirt vacant ahead of the upcoming campaign. The iconic number has previously been donned by stars such as David Villa, Pedro, Antoine Griezmann, and Dembélé.

Several contenders have emerged within Hansi Flick's squad to take over the jersey. Dani Olmo, who previously wore No. 7 during his time at RB Leipzig, is viewed as a prime candidate. Midfielder Fermín López could also make the switch from No. 16—a number that could potentially be freed up for Manchester City target Rodri—while new arrival Anthony Gordon also stands as a potential heir to the famous shirt.
