Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Spanish World Cup-winning forward Ferran Torres, with the attacker joining the French champions on a contract running until 2031.
The club announced the move on its official website on Saturday, confirming that Torres will wear the number nine shirt.
Born in Foios, Spain, on February 29, 2000, Torres began playing football through futsal before joining the Valencia CF academy at the age of seven.
He rose through the ranks at Valencia and made history in December 2017 when he became the first player born in the 21st century to feature in La Liga, making his debut against Eibar.
During his three seasons with Valencia, Torres made 97 appearances and set several age-related records.
“In 97 matches for Valencia, Ferran Torres left a lasting impression and set a number of new records for his age, becoming, at 19 years and 324 days, the youngest player in the club’s history to have played 50 league matches, as well as the first goalscorer born in the 21st century in the Champions League for a Spanish club,” PSG said.
Torres won his first professional trophy in 2019 when Valencia lifted the Copa del Rey.
