The ball sat up awkwardly on the MetLife turf in the 106th minute, and the substitute who had come
on at 62 minutes hit it left-footed under the crossbar. That goal won Spain the 2026 World Cup against
Argentina, and Associated Press recorded the scorer calling it a goal “scored by 47 million people”.

Ferran Torres García was born on 29 February 2000 in Foios, north of Valencia, and his
football was Valencian from the start: the Paterna academy, then the reserve team at sixteen.

Out of Foios and into Mestalla

He debuted for Valencia at seventeen and finished on 97 first-team appearances and nine goals, a
return shaped by being used wide and often from the bench. He won the Copa del Rey in 2018-19 and took
Under-17 and Under-19 European titles with Spain.

The money was small. Valencia protected him with a reported €100 million release clause
while paying a fraction of what that implied: our estimate is roughly €2.5 million gross in wages
across the three seasons.

Manchester City signed him in August 2020 for a fee reported at €23 million; in eighteen
months he won the Premier League and the EFL Cup and scored 16 goals in 43 appearances.

Why Barcelona paid €55 million for a squad player

Barcelona bought him in December 2021 for €55 million plus about €10 million in
add-ons and signed him to 2027. He left four and a half years later with 207 appearances, 65 goals,
three La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey and three Supercopa wins. Ara reported a further term:
€7 to €8 million owed back to City if Barcelona extended him past June 2027.

They sold him instead. On 15 August 2026 Paris Saint-Germain announced a contract until 2031 and the number 9
shirt; Associated Press reported that L’Équipe put the fee at €50 million. He scored twice off
the bench on debut at Rennes, then a hat-trick off Slovan Bratislava in a 6-1 win which The National
recorded as his Champions League debut for the club.

Here is what the craft has paid him. A transfer fee moves between clubs, so fees sit outside the
total; every wage row is gross.

That is about €47 million gross, roughly $53 million at the European Central Bank
rate of $1.12 to the euro on 23 October 2026. The World Cup row is the firmest figure:
beIN Sports reported a gross €440,000 per squad member for reaching the final and €750,000
each for winning it. The Paris seasons running to 2031 are unplayed, so that money is upside and stays
out of both this total and the published figure.

He was named man of the match in the World Cup final, having assisted the winner in the 1-0
round-of-16 tie with Portugal, and he won the European Championship with Spain in 2024. By late
September 2026 he stood at 66 caps and 25 international goals, and the Paris number 9 he inherited
had been worn by Ronaldinho, Ibrahimović and Mbappé.

The iNuba global ambassadorship is the commercial tie that can be pinned to a named company, and
it anchors this section. Our estimate for the whole commercial line is €1.5 million gross in 2026
against perhaps €400,000 a year at Valencia, or roughly €7 million gross across the career,
assuming a Spanish international forward with a World Cup winner’s medal earns low
single-digit millions a year from brands.

Eleven Future Invest SL was incorporated in January 2023, named for the number 11 he wore in his
first Barcelona season. El Espanol, working from the Registro Mercantil, reported that his sister Arantxa
is its sole employee and that the business buys, refurbishes, sells and lets property.

He is also a partner in iNuba, a Spanish health-technology startup applying artificial
intelligence to nutrition and 3D body scanning. Vozpopuli reported that he holds it with three partners,
is its global ambassador, and that it has attracted €1.66 million of investment — money
investors put into iNuba rather than money Torres holds, so it stays out of the working. His
stake’s size is absent from the filings, so the working carries no value for it.

What the filed accounts show

This is the best-documented part of his balance sheet, public because a political row sent
Spanish journalists to the filings. El Espanol reported net equity in Eleven Future Invest of
€6.56 million, up about €1 million on the previous year’s
€5.51 million, from accounts filed for 2023 and 2024. Its principal asset is a commercial
building beside the Mestalla stadium: 50 registered units let as offices.

That reporting, and the fact-check Maldita.es published on it, put his residences at four — one
in Barcelona, two in Valencia and a summer home — plus a plot he intends to build on. With the
office units that makes the 55 registered properties cited in July 2026: title entries, not houses.
