Barcelona’s new manager, Hansi Flick, is fully aware that the club must make bold and strategic moves in the transfer market if they are to regain financial stability, boost revenue, and cut down their wage bill.
These adjustments are necessary for Flick to effectively implement his ambitious plans to rebuild and strengthen the squad — plans he has already set into motion since taking charge.
Recognizing that some players don’t fit into his long-term vision for the team, Flick wasted no time in pinpointing those individuals and has urged club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco to immediately begin seeking potential suitors for them.
Among those affected is Pablo Torre, one of the brightest prospects to emerge from Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. The young midfielder has openly voiced his frustration over the way he was treated by Flick throughout the past season.
In comments reported by Football España, Torre did not hold back his feelings, stating, “I believe I could have played more minutes. The competition was intense, and I understand that it wasn’t easy to find space, but I don’t think Flick was fair to me, and I told him that personally.”
Torre went on to explain that although opportunities were scarce due to the squad’s overall fitness and lack of injuries, he felt his performances when given the chance were solid.
He admitted to respecting the manager’s authority and decisions, but also confessed that many of those choices were difficult for him to comprehend. “There are things a coach decides, and while I understand some of them, a lot didn’t make sense to me,” he remarked.
Despite his limited playing time, Torre remains proud of his development and growth over the season. Training and competing alongside world-class players, he believes, has elevated his game and made him a better footballer.
He highlighted that his involvement, though sporadic, had a positive impact on his skills and mentality. Torre finished the season having made 27 first-team appearances, scoring five goals and contributing four assists in what was a fiercely competitive environment.
Looking ahead, Torre’s future at Barcelona appears uncertain as Flick continues reshaping the squad to suit his tactical ideas. With emotions running high and significant changes underway, it remains to be seen whether the young star will remain at the Camp Nou or seek opportunities elsewhere in the near future.
