Paris Saint-Germain have signed Spain's World Cup hero Ferran Torres from Barcelona on a five-year contract.

The 26-year-old scored Spain's winning goal in extra time of the World Cup final against Argentina. He netted 65 goals in 207 games for Barcelona. The transfer reunites him with Spanish coach Luis Enrique, who gave him his international debut in 2020. Luis Enrique has led PSG to back-to-back Champions League titles. PSG, who won the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, face Lens in the Trophee des Champions on Sunday.
