The 26-year-old has signed a deal with the French champions until 2031 for a reported fee of about 50m euros (Β£42.7m).
Market Impact
He scored the extra-time winner against Argentina 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. The forward scored 21 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions, providing three assists, and helped Barcelona win the La Liga title. PSG, managed by former Barcelona coach and player Luis Enrique, have won the Champions League in the past two seasons. Torres is the second high-profile forward PSG have signed this summer after the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco.
