Real Sociedad joins the bid for one of Barça's midfielders

Real Sociedad could join the bid for Pablo Torre in the next winter market. Soto de la Marina's is one of the FC Barcelona midfielders who seems condemned to the bench for the rest of the season and Imanol Alguacil's men could be a very good destination for the 21-year-old footballer to establish himself definitively in the Spanish elite. .

According to the latest information, the people from San Sebastian would be very interested in the Cantabrian as a possible replacement for Martín Zubimendi. The former Barça target for the pivot seems to have his days numbered in San Sebastián and, before his departure to a major European team, the 'txuri urdin' team wants to incorporate a player capable of covering the loss of the '4'.

In that sense, the '14' culé seems to have the ideal profile for this mission, although he is a player who also projects a lot in attack. Pablo has a contract with Barça until 2026 and the club hopes, at least, to recover the 5 million euros it paid for him in 2022, although it is very likely that Real prefers to negotiate a simple loan for only six months.

Girona and Seville are also interested in Pablo Torre

However, the people of San Sebastian will not be alone in the 'race' for Torre. And, facing the winter market, the midfielder would have another pair of 'girlfriends' in LaLiga. The Cantabrian has also sounded strongly in recent days as a possible reinforcement for a Sevilla team against whom he has already scored a double. The Seville team plans to incorporate a couple of offensive players in January, since their offensive production (12 goals in the first 13 days of the tournament) is one of their biggest headaches.

Likewise, Soto de la Marina would have options to return to Girona, the club for which he played on loan last season. Míchel did not count on him much in 2023/24 (he accumulated just 802 minutes of action spread over 29 games), but the Madrid coach prioritizes adding a creative midfielder in winter and the 21-year-old player has the ideal profile.

In 2024/25, Pablo has managed to score 3 goals in only 6 games (209 minutes) in which he also gave 1 assist. The Racing youth player has the confidence of Hansi Flick, but the tough competition in the Barça midfield after the returns of Fermín, Gavi and Frenkie de Jong leave him without a place in the culé squad. If he opts for Girona or Real Sociedad, the Cantabrian could play at least a couple more matches in European competitions in January.
