Ferran Torres doing everything to anger Barcelona fans after his PSG move
Ferran Torres has heightened anticipation ahead of his return to Barcelona after describing his move to PSG as a major step forward in his career.
Ferran Torres has added another layer of intrigue to his upcoming Champions League reunion with Barcelona after speaking positively about his decision to leave the Catalan club for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spain international completed a €50 million move to the reigning European champions in August, ending a four-and-a-half-year spell at Barcelona and signing a contract that runs until 2031.
Torres, who scored Spain’s winning goal in the 2026 World Cup final, has now made clear that he sees the switch to Paris as an important progression in his career.
The 26-year-old also credited PSG manager Luis Enrique with playing a major role in convincing him to make the move, describing the former Spain boss as a father figure who has consistently shown faith in him.
Torres has already begun adapting to life in Paris and scored twice on his first appearance for the club. His next major challenge will come on October 20, when PSG host Barcelona at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League.
The fixture will give Torres his first competitive opportunity to face his former teammates since his departure, with the forward admitting that the meeting will be an emotional occasion while insisting that his objective will be to help PSG secure victory.
PSG are attempting to win the Champions League for a third successive season after establishing themselves as Europe’s dominant force, while Barcelona will hope to spoil those ambitions.
Torres’ comments are likely to increase interest in a fixture that already carries significant personal and competitive stakes.
