Ferran Torres draws criticism from FC Barcelona fans following move to Paris Saint-Germain
Summary

Former FC Barcelona striker Ferran Torres faces backlash from supporters after publicly praising his new club, Paris Saint-Germain. In recent press comments, Torres labeled his transfer a step forward and expressed gratitude for the trust shown by manager Luis Enrique and sporting director Luis Campos. The comments have frustrated parts of the Culer fanbase, which reportedly felt the forward lacked a proper farewell compared to other departing players. Torres arrived at the Qatari-backed club for a €50 million transfer fee. While FC Barcelona did not directly replace the striker, manager Hansi Flick has shifted Raphinha into a central role, which has yielded five goals in three appearances. The clubs are scheduled to meet in the Champions League phase on October 20 at the Parc des Princes.
