The deal

The move also saves Barcelona from paying an €8 million bonus to Manchester City, which would have been due if Torres had renewed his contract Source: Excelsior.

Why he left

Torres's departure was driven by reduced playing time at Barcelona, following the arrivals of Gordon and Adeyemi, and the emergence of Lamine Yamal Source: Infobae. Despite being a key rotation player under Hansi Flick, Torres sought a new challenge. He was reportedly tempted by PSG during the World Cup, and Luis Enrique's admiration played a crucial role Source: La Vanguardia.

What's next

He replaces Gonçalo Ramos, who moved to AC Milan, and will wear the number 9 shirt Source: Excelsior. The €50 million fee could help Barcelona fund moves for Julián Álvarez and Rodri Source: ABC.
