As part of their intensive preparations for the upcoming season, Barcelona is planning a major overhaul of their squad to align with the vision of newly appointed manager Hansi Flick. The club’s first priority in this restructuring is to part ways with several players who either haven’t met expectations or don’t fit into Flick’s tactical system.
In collaboration with Barcelona’s sporting directors, Flick has already started identifying names that could be shown the exit during the summer transfer window. This initiative is driven by a dual objective: reducing the club’s inflated wage bill and creating space for new recruits who better suit the manager’s footballing philosophy and long-term plans for the team.
One of the earliest casualties of this restructuring is young midfielder Pablo Torre. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, Flick personally informed Torre that he does not feature in his plans for the next campaign, encouraging the player to look for opportunities elsewhere.
Although this move wasn’t entirely unexpected given Torre’s limited involvement last season, it still marks a harsh reality for a player who showed promise when given the chance.
Torre, who was rarely afforded meaningful minutes on the pitch, consistently displayed his potential in the few appearances he managed. Despite these flashes of talent, the depth of Barcelona’s midfield — packed with established names like Pedri, Fermin López, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Pablo Gavi — made it practically impossible for the youngster to secure regular playing time. His opportunities typically came only when injuries or absences left the team short-handed.
While Torre maintained professionalism throughout, never stirring unrest in the dressing room, it’s evident that moving to another club is crucial for his development.
His ability, particularly his sharp shooting from distance, hasn’t gone unnoticed, drawing interest from several clubs. Barcelona’s hierarchy, led by Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco, is open to letting Torre leave, preferring a permanent sale over another loan move, in hopes of recovering the €5 million investment made in 2022 when he was signed.
Although La Liga sides have shown some interest, Torre’s most serious suitor appears to be Serie A club Como, which has already made initial moves to secure his services. Ultimately, the decision rests with Pablo Torre, but it seems increasingly likely that his chapter at Barcelona is coming to a close, with fans watching closely to see where his next step will lead.
