La Liga giants FC Barcelona completed the signing of Ferran Torres from English Premier League side Manchester City.

The Spain international striker has signed a five-year deal that keeps him at Camp Nou until 2027.

Torres’ move to Barcelona was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon, 29th December with the 21-year-old heading to the Camp Nou for an initially reported fee of €55 million plus €10 million in add-ons.

“FC Barcelona has reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Ferran Torres,” read Barca’s statement.

“The player has signed a contract for the next five seasons, until 30 June 2027, and his buyout clause has been set at 1 billion euros.”

In a statement confirming Torres’ departure, City director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “Ferran should be proud of what he has achieved here at Manchester City.

“Last season was his first time in a new country, but he adapted well. He always gave 100 per cent, worked hard for the team and scored goals which helped us win trophies.

“Injury, unfortunately, prevented him from playing more games this season, but Ferran is a player we have all enjoyed working with and we wish him all the best at Barcelona and for the rest of his career.”

Torres has made 43 appearances and scored 16 goals for City since joining from Valencia in August 2020.
