At 26 years old, Ferran was given the number 9 shirt and arrived in Paris with the status of one of the main signings of the season. The clubs did not disclose the value of the operation, but it is speculated that PSG paid around 50 million euros - approximately R$315 million at current prices.

Under the coach's command, the striker participated in the 2020 Euro Cup and the 2022 World Cup. Ferran became one of the recurring players in Luis Enrique's team due to his ability to play centrally or on the sides of the field.
Ferran Torres was Spain's hero in the 2026 World Cup final. After starting on the bench, he came on in the 17th minute of the second half and scored, in extra time, the only goal in the victory over Argentina at MetLife Stadium, in the United States.
The striker was still chosen as the best player in the decision. The result gave the Spanish team the second world title in its history, 16 years after winning in 2010.
In addition to the World Cup, Ferran also won the 2023 Nations League and the 2024 Euro Cup with Spain. He has scored 25 goals in 65 matches for the national team.
"I'm very happy to start a new adventure at a club as ambitious as Paris Saint-Germain," declared the player in PSG's official announcement.
Ferran also ends his career at Barcelona after four and a half years. Signed from Manchester City in January 2022, he played 207 matches, scored 65 goals and won three editions of the Spanish Championship, one Copa del Rey and two national Super Cups.
Last season, the striker had one of his best years for the Catalan club. There were 21 goals and three assists in 49 matches, numbers that helped Barcelona win another LaLiga title.
