Pedri and Gavi represent the best thing that has happened to Barça in the last decade. One arrived from Las Palmas and the other grew up in La Masia. Both have shown maturity, quality, and total commitment from day one.
The Canary Islander has become the beacon of Barça's midfield. Meanwhile, the Andalusian brings an uncommon intensity in current soccer. Together they have been the foundation of a project that excites the fans.
Pedri, Gavi and...
After the positive impact Pedri and Gavi had, the sports management wanted to repeat the formula. They were looking for a new young profile, with vision and personality. In March 2022, they made an official new addition: Pablo Torre.
The newcomer connected very well with both references. His intention was clear: to establish himself in the first team and become an important piece. Expectations were high from his first training, as Pablo Torre showed great quality in his initial training sessions.
The theory was exciting, but the practice has been different, and Pablo Torre hasn't had the continuity that Pedri and Gavi have had. Although his performance has been impeccable, the minutes have been conspicuously absent.
Pablo Torre hasn't managed to establish himself at Barça
This season, Pablo Torre has only played 421 minutes across 14 matches. When he has participated, he has delivered, but he hasn't managed to impress. The internal competition, precisely so high due to the presence of Pedri and Gavi, and the lack of trust, have affected him.
Hansi Flick doesn't count on him for the immediate future. Although Pedri and Gavi have a great relationship with him, they won't be able to stop his departure. The decision is made, and Pablo Torre's path at Barça stops here.
The new destination for Pablo Torre
RCD Mallorca has shown serious interest in Pablo Torre. The Balearic team believes they can recover his best version with continuity and a calm environment. His style would fit well with what Arrasate is looking for.
For now, no definitive operation has been closed. The most logical thing would be a loan without a purchase option. Barça wants to keep controlling his development in case he manages to fully blossom.
Pablo Torre's story can still have very interesting chapters. Sometimes, a step back is necessary to take two steps forward. Everything will depend on his next experience and the support he receives.
