Ferran Torres Garcia (born 29 February 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team.
Torres began his career at Valencia, where he made his senior debut in 2017. He moved to Manchester City in 2020 and won the Premier League and the EFL Cup in the 2020–21 season. He departed for Barcelona in January 2022. He has represented Spain internationally at various youth levels, and made his debut for the senior team in 2020.
Regarded as a talented and highly promising young attacking winger in the media, Torres has been described as a traditional wide midfielder, due to his work-rate and penchant for running to the touchline, although he is also capable of cutting inside towards the centre of the pitch; due to his role, nationality, and playing style, Simone Lorini has likened him to Joaquin. Torres is known in particular for his pace, creativity, technique, and his close control at speed, which enables him to take on opponents and overload the flanks, while his height, athleticism, and heading ability also make him a strong aerial presence. Although he primarily plays on the right, he is capable of playing anywhere across the attacking line. In 2018, Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague noted that Torres "is a dribbler, fast on the wing, can play on either wing, and he has got ability and intelligence. He can also play inside if needed, so he is a modern winger." The Valencia academy director of recruitment, JosE Gimenez, instead stated: "He's powerful, quick, steady with the ball at his feet and strong in the air. He's unpredictable. When he's running with the ball at his feet he can go on inside or outside his man because he is two-footed. He can cross, finish and shoot the football."<\/P>","7F6018B84729B122B8EE7594158DA382":"Manchester City,Valencia CF,Valencia CF Mestalla,Valencia(U19)","1BB8AF7BD3F66066":"184cm","078F3C827B475FC4":"1750612","7777CB48C34672EC8F83E174F0B7EFC7":"","F52748F924D1E675":"77kg","8084EC95B881D770":"Barcelona","147403B66C8CB5C7":"514","3F6EEC72E60D52B53E2E6377341938DB":"1","75B83B44A2FCDD1B4FF631FCD2E3CC16":"7","86178E7285C328960D9569BD40C7D883":"2000-2-29","2F200EF80307E2A90BE724565D2038D0":"2022-1-1","D1BA8203CB065367D63301112214EF98":"35000000.00","0E9052569923A91555E1DAF3C456F9CD":"
