# Ferrán Torres joins PSG; Barcelona seeks striker replacement > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/paris-saintgermain-pursuit-of-ferran-torres > Updated: 2026-09-04T03:55:27.000Z. Sources: 434. Developments: 15. Ferrán Torres has officially transferred from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a deal valued at approximately €50 million. The 26-year-old Spanish forward signed a contract until 2031 and will wear the number 9 jersey. The move reunites Torres with PSG head coach Luis Enrique, whom he described as being “like a father” to him. Torres, who recently scored the winning goal for Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, characterized the move as a “step forward” in his career, noting that Barcelona’s failure to initiate contract extension talks facilitated his departure. Torres made an immediate impact in his PSG debut against Stade Rennais, scoring two goals as a substitute to secure a 2-2 draw. This performance made him only the third player in PSG history to score twice on debut. For Barcelona, the sale provides a significant financial injection and salary cap flexibility, while also avoiding potential sell-on fees owed to Manchester City. The departure follows the exit of Robert Lewandowski and leaves the club searching for new attacking options. While Barcelona previously targeted Viktor Gyökeres and Julian Alvarez—the latter of whom reportedly expressed a desire to join despite stalled negotiations with Atletico Madrid—the club has also considered Lautaro Martinez and Nick Woltemade as contingency plans for their central striker position. ## Claims - Barcelona has not yet received an official bid from Paris Saint‑Germain.
