Hansi Flick began the season with a thin midfield at FC Barcelona but now enjoys a wealth of options for the three central positions. The competition is fierce, with players such as Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Pablo Torre contending for spots.
Among these, Marc Casado and Pedri have been Flick’s go-to players. However, the recent return of Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Olmo, and Fermin Lopez from injury has intensified the battle for playing time.
In this competitive environment, Pablo Torre has been the most impacted. Despite showing promise in his limited opportunities, he has struggled to secure regular minutes with the team.
Torre’s situation was highlighted during the recent match against Celta Vigo, where he played just one minute. This was his first appearance in over a month; his prior outing was on October 20th against Sevilla, where he was similarly restricted to a brief cameo. Even Hansi Flick has expressed that Torre deserves more playing time.
According to SPORT, Barcelona is now considering allowing Torre to leave on loan in January. While the club highly values the young midfielder, there is concern that his development could stall without consistent opportunities on the pitch.
The decision ultimately lies with Torre, who currently prefers to stay and fight for his place at the club.
Should he choose to leave on loan, Torre could attract interest from several top-tier clubs. One potential suitor is Celta Vigo, Barcelona’s recent opponent, who might offer him more significant playing time.
For now, Barcelona is committed to supporting Torre’s choice, ensuring that he has full autonomy over his future. A final decision is expected in January, with the club respecting whatever path the midfielder decides to take.
