Ferran Torres reflects on emotional move to PSG after Barcelona stint | OneFootball

Ferran Torres has made a flying start at Paris Saint-Germain, yet the Spaniard says leaving Barcelona brought real emotional and practical strain.

According to Goal.com, the 26-year-old called his summer switch a whirlwind that upended his routine, language learning, and life off the pitch.

Reuniting with Luis Enrique, whom he sees as a paternal figure, and joining Fabian Ruiz plus former Barcelona academy product Dro Fernandez, has eased his bedding-in at the club.

The speed of the deal caught him off guard. “It’s difficult: one day you’re here and the next you’re packing your bags,” he said. He joked: “The only one I can’t bring with me is Pedri.”

On the pitch he has seven goals in his first six matches, cementing his role in Enrique’s plans. He also scored the winner in Spain’s 1-0 World Cup final against Argentina and made the 30-man Ballon d’Or shortlist alongside Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Marc Cucurella, Rodri and Ruiz.

Asked about the award, he declined to campaign. “Whoever’s meant to win it will win it; it’s not up to me,” he said. “If a Spaniard wins it, so much the better.”

Sustaining this scoring streak now looks key to keeping his starting spot and fuelling PSG’s push in domestic and European competitions.
