Pablo Torre’s time at Barcelona looks set to end soon, with La Liga side Mallorca currently in advanced discussions to secure the 22-year-old midfielder’s services.
While the original talks were based on a loan deal, reports gathered by Softfootball now indicate that a permanent transfer is more likely, with Barcelona considering a buy-back clause as part of the package.
Torre made just 14 appearances under Hansi Flick in the 2024–25 season, despite having joined Barcelona with high expectations back in 2022 from Racing Santander.
His lack of consistent game time has pushed the young Spaniard to seek a move elsewhere, preferably within Spain, despite receiving interest from clubs outside the country.
Frustrated by limited opportunities, Torre publicly expressed disappointment over Flick’s management.
“I think I could’ve played more minutes,”
he told Sport.
“He wasn’t fair with me, and I told him that directly. I respect his decisions, even if I don’t understand them.”
Torre’s honesty has shed light on the tensions behind the scenes at Camp Nou. Despite his minimal involvement, Barcelona still rate Torre highly and believe in his potential to develop into one of Spain’s finest midfielders.
However, Softfootball earlier reported that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club are in active discussions to extend Frenkie de Jong’s contract, as the midfielder edges closer to entering the final year of his current deal,
Barcelona now seem ready to let Torre leave in search of regular football, with Mallorca keen to add his creativity to their midfield. A move appears to suit all parties, offering Torre the playing time he craves and giving Barcelona a chance to monitor his development with an option to bring him back in the future.
