Pablo Torre arrived at Barça in 2022 through a transfer closed at 5 million euros plus add-ons, of which only one has been fulfilled so far. So far, his time at Camp Nou hasn't been fruitful and his contract ends in 2026. All voices point to his departure, but Deco is clear about one thing: he doesn't want to let him go because he fully trusts his technical qualities and future potential.
The Cantabrian hasn't managed to count for Hansi Flick this past season, having played only 421 minutes (421 min) spread over 14 matches. Despite this, his numbers are very positive: 4 goals and 3 assists. Pablo Torre himself is asking for more and, although the idea is for him to leave this summer, Deco is clear: he wants to renew his contract and is only seriously considering a loan.
Turn in Pablo Torre's future: renews with Barça
Mundo Deportivo has revealed that the idea at FC Barcelona is to sit down and negotiate Pablo Torre's contract renewal. The duration of the new deal is still to be defined, but they want to keep his future under control. The trust in him is maximum and, once secured, the idea would be to loan him out with a purchase option and future buy-back, or to sell him including an affordable buy-back clause.
The plan is to start talks "shortly", taking advantage of the fact that he is playing in the Under-21 European Championship with Spain. There is serious interest from several LaLiga teams, including Osasuna and Valencia. The idea is for him to end up at a destination where he can get minutes and feel important, something he hasn't achieved in recent years.
Pablo Torre, waiting
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Pablo Torre is open to staying at Barça, but he wants to choose his next destination as a loanee. There are options on the table that he likes, but he won't decide until he knows all the teams that are promoted to the top division.
There is a clear reason for this: the Cantabrian prioritizes returning to Racing, the team he loves and where he was developed. The historic Santander team is in the promotion play-offs competing against Mirandés, having drawn the first leg 3-3. If they advance to the "final," they would have to face the winner of the other tie between Almería and Oviedo.
Torre is clear: he is open to securing his future at Barça with a renewal, but he doesn't want to fail in his next loan. He prioritizes Racing and intends to wait until everything is decided before making a decision.
