- Barcelona and Ajax completed Jofre Torrents’s transfer on 17 August 2026.
- Torrents said goodbye after rising through La Masia from Reus Deportiu to Barcelona’s first team.
- Ajax have handed the defender a contract until 30 June 2030 as he begins the next stage of his career.
Jofre Torrents’s Farewell to Barcelona
Barcelona confirmed the agreement with Ajax and thanked Torrents for his commitment, professionalism and dedication over the years.
Torrents arrived from Reus Deportiu in the summer of 2017 and worked his way through La Masia from the Under-12s to senior football. That background gave extra weight to his farewell message, which focused on how much it meant to defend the badge and how proud he was to wear Barcelona‘s colours.
Ajax Present a New Development Opportunity
Ajax have tied Torrents down until 30 June 2030. It gives him a fresh setting for the next part of his development, even if it does not guarantee immediate first-team minutes.
Torrents said Ajax’s approach had flattered him, added that he was grateful to join, and made it clear he intends to give everything for the club.
“I felt very flattered when Ajax came. I’m grateful to join the club, and I’m going to give everything I have for this club.”
From La Masia to First-Team Football
Torrents had already taken his first senior steps at Barcelona before this move was completed. He made his first-team debut under Hansi Flick on the opening day of the 2025/26 La Liga season, appearing in the 3-0 win at Son Moix.
During that campaign, he alternated between the first-team squad and Barça Atlètic in the Segunda Federación. His senior exposure stayed limited, with three La Liga appearances and one Copa del Rey appearance in 2025/26, but that is exactly why this switch feels significant: Ajax offer him a new chance to keep growing without rushing his development.
