Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal for Spain at the World Cup, has joined European champions Paris St-Germain from Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has signed a deal with the French champions until 2031 for a reported fee of about 50m euros (\u00a342.7m).<\/a><\/p>\n

He scored the extra-time winner against Argentina<\/a> to help Spain claim their second men’s World Cup last month, while his stock had already risen considerably after a strong season with Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The forward scored 21 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions, providing three assists, and helped Barcelona win the La Liga title.<\/p>\n

PSG, managed by former Barcelona coach and player Luis Enrique, have won the Champions League in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

Torres is the second high-profile forward PSG have signed this summer after the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco.<\/p>\n

PSG added to their silverware collection on Wednesday by beating Aston Villa 2-1 to win the Uefa Super Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n

Torres has been at Barcelona since 2022 having previously spent two years at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

He has scored 25 goals in 65 appearances for Spain and made his debut for the national team under Enrique.<\/p>\n

PSG could lose Bradley Barcola this summer, with the forward wanted by Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal for Spain at the World Cup, has joined European champions Paris…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-594004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
