Still, the PSG forward conveyed his preference for a compatriot to claim the accolade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a Spaniard wins it, even better,\u201d Torres stated, indicating his strong wish while emphasizing that the ultimate choice rests with the voters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Softfootball notes that Torres\u2019 statement comes at a pivotal juncture in his career after his transfer from Barcelona to PSG in the summer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107113\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HFpWfPVXQAEQijo.jpeg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"524\" alt=\"Ferran Torres (Photo credit: Fabrizio Romano via x)\" class=\"wp-image-107113\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ferran Torres (Photo credit: Fabrizio Romano via x)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spanish international departed Camp Nou after spending four and a half years with the Catalan club, where he made 207 appearances, netting 65 goals and securing seven trophies. His final season in Spain was notable, as he scored 16 goals in La Liga, earning him the Zarra Trophy alongside his Barcelona teammate Lamine Yamal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSG finalized a transfer agreement with Barcelona for Torres, with the deal initially reported at around \u20ac50 million, with additional bonuses and add-ons bringing the overall amount to nearly \u20ac55 million. This transfer also marks a reunion with Luis Enrique, his former coach with the Spanish national team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torres has already begun his journey in Paris on a positive note, aiming to further his growth under Enrique while competing against the top level of football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Softfootball highlights that his preference for the Ballon d\u2019Or could draw interest due to the significant number of Spanish players among this year\u2019s nominees, which includes Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Pau Cubars\u00ed, Marc Cucurella, Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz, and Torres himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-4171475848\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async
