It's been a while since Barça and Real Sociedad have done business, but it seems Deco has something up his sleeve. There are rumors pointing to the txuri-urdin interest in Pablo Torre, a midfielder overlooked by Hansi Flick this season.
Game after game, he remains warming the bench or even in the stands, which has led the Basques to inquire about him. There is interest on their part, and they intend to take him for the next season.
Pablo Torre, goodbye to Barça: These are the conditions
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Barça is open to the definitive departure of Pablo Torre, as long as certain conditions are met. He arrived in 2022 from Racing for five million euros. Now, they want to recover the initial investment.
With his contract ending in 2026, the idea is to sell 50% of his rights for what it cost, reserving half for a future sale... or even having a buyback option.
Real Sociedad seems to accept these conditions, with the idea of strengthening their squad with a player of Pablo Torre's caliber. The Cantabrian, despite having played only 373 minutes in 12 games, has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists. Numbers, apparently, insufficient for a Hansi Flick who doesn't fully trust him.
Pablo Torre, back on the bench
To no one's surprise, Pablo Torre has once again remained on the bench, this time in the match against Real Sociedad. Flick has decided not to field him in a game marked by rotations in certain positions. Where the starter hasn't rested is in the attacking midfield, with Dani Olmo starting.
In contrast, footballers like Íñigo Martínez, De Jong, or Balde have started on the bench, trying to rest ahead of the next Champions League match.
In this regard, Pablo Torre seems willing to seek an exit he denied last winter market when several clubs called him. It seems his next destination could be in Spain, as he interests multiple teams. Not only does Real Sociedad want him, but others like Villarreal, Betis, or Celta are also considering his signing.
Deco knows he will have work ahead for the next season, intending to strengthen the squad with Flick's requests. What is clear is that Pablo Torre doesn't count for the German, so he isn't part of the Barça planning.
