Jofre Torrents completes permanent move from Barcelona to Ajax

AFC Ajax has secured the permanent transfer of 19‑year‑old left‑back Jofre Torrents from FC Barcelona. The deal, valued at up to €6 million, includes a €5 million option for Ajax to acquire 50 % of the player's economic rights and a buy‑back clause that would allow Barcelona to re‑sign him for €15‑20 million. Barcelona will receive an immediate €5 million fee, retain a 50 % share of any future sale and keep a repurchase option. Torrents, a product of La Masia who has made a handful of first‑team appearances, moves to the Eredivisie to gain regular playing time, as competition from Alejandro Balde and João Cancelo limits his opportunities at Barça. The contract runs until around 2030, with Ajax expected to benefit from his development while Barcelona safeguards future value.

The transfer has been confirmed by multiple sources, including Spanish and Dutch media, which note that the agreement replaces earlier loan speculation with a definitive sale. Barcelona’s strategy is to manage risk by offloading the player’s salary while preserving upside through the future‑sale clause and buy‑back provision.
