Dani Olmo has paid an emotional tribute to Ferran Torres after the Spain international completed his €50 million move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, bringing his four-and-a-half-year spell at Camp Nou to an end.

Torres' departure marks one of the more emotional moments of Barcelona's summer, particularly after the forward played a major role in Spain's historic 2026 World Cup triumph.
Now, he begins a new chapter in Paris — and one of his closest Barcelona teammates has made sure to send him off with a heartfelt message.
Olmo Leads the Tributes
Olmo was among those to publicly react to Torres' departure, paying tribute to his former Barcelona teammate as he prepares for life away from Catalonia.
The pair have also shared the Spain dressing room, making their relationship extend beyond club football.
For Torres, leaving Barcelona means saying goodbye to teammates with whom he experienced some of the biggest moments of his career.
Torres joined Barcelona from Manchester City in 2022 and went on to become an important attacking option for the Catalan club.
His four-and-a-half-year stay produced consistent goals, major trophies and some memorable performances, before PSG eventually completed the €50m deal.

The transfer was officially confirmed on Saturday, with Torres signing a contract with PSG that runs until 2031.

It brings an unexpected end to his Barcelona journey.
From Barcelona to Paris
The move reunites Torres with Luis Enrique, the coach who knows him particularly well from their time together with Spain.
That relationship was reportedly an important factor behind PSG's interest.
Torres arrives in Paris following an exceptional period internationally, having scored the decisive extra-time goal in Spain's 2026 World Cup final victory over Argentina.
He therefore heads to PSG with his reputation at an all-time high.
A World Cup Hero's New Challenge
Torres' World Cup-winning moment has transformed the context surrounding his transfer.
Rather than leaving Barcelona after a disappointing campaign, he departs as one of the heroes of Spain's historic triumph.
His final season at Barcelona was also productive, with 21 goals and three assists in 49 appearances, according to Reuters.
PSG will now expect him to reproduce that attacking output in France.
The French champions have also lost Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan, creating an opening in their forward line that Torres can help fill.
Why PSG Wanted Torres
Luis Enrique already understands exactly what Torres can provide.
The Spanish forward can operate centrally or from either flank, giving PSG greater flexibility in attack.
His movement without the ball, ability to attack space and finishing make him a natural fit for a side that wants to dominate possession while constantly threatening opponents in the final third.
The €50m investment therefore represents PSG's belief that Torres can become an important part of their next attacking cycle.
Barcelona Lose More Than a Forward
For Barcelona, however, the transfer is about more than squad planning.
Torres had become a familiar figure at Camp Nou and had developed strong relationships within the dressing room.
His departure also leaves another attacking position to fill as Hansi Flick prepares Barcelona for the new season.
And for players such as Olmo, it means saying goodbye to a teammate with whom they shared both club and international success.
An Emotional Goodbye
Torres himself has already said farewell to Barcelona, describing his time at the club as an honour and reflecting on the friendships and achievements he experienced during his four-and-a-half years in Catalonia.

Olmo's emotional response adds another layer to that farewell.
The two Spaniards will now go their separate ways at club level, although their connection through the national team remains.
For Torres, however, the focus now shifts entirely to Paris.
The Next Chapter
From Manchester City to Barcelona, from Camp Nou to a World Cup-winning moment and now to Paris Saint-Germain, Ferran Torres' career has entered another fascinating stage.
He leaves Barcelona as a World Cup hero and arrives at PSG with Luis Enrique believing he can take his game to another level.
And while Barcelona begin life without him, Torres will know that the expectations in Paris are enormous.
Dani Olmo has said goodbye. Ferran Torres has moved on. And a new chapter of the Spain star's career has officially begun in Paris.
