Pablo Torre was one of the good news of the FC Barcelona preseason. The Cantabrian returned to Barcelona after a loan spell at Girona in which he barely had opportunities from Míchel, so his continuity in the Barça first team was a question mark. However, his good performance on the tour of the United States and at Gamper, where he stood out for his quality and vision in the last third of the field, managed to convince Hansi Flick, who is delighted with the player's performance. .
Despite this, his presence in the German coach's squad remains unclear. The Blaugrana team has an 'overbooking' of midfielders, where up to five players (Olmo, Pedri, Gündogan, Raphinha and Torre himself) can play behind Robert Lewandowski. Flick has insisted on his desire to have a large squad full of variants, but the reality is that Pablo's opportunities could be limited by the tough competition in his position and his progression could be slowed.
The sports management of the Catalan entity is aware of this situation and they want to prevent this last scenario at all costs, which is why they have made it a priority that the former Racing de Santander player has guaranteed playing time and is not relegated to the bench. For this reason, the newspaper 'SPORT' has reported that Deco and his staff will pay special attention to Torre's participation in the matches against Valencia and Athletic Club to intervene and suggest a new loan in case he is not taken on. account for the culé coach.
Torre's 'escape route'
Others who will closely follow the Cantabrian's situation in the first two days of LaLiga are the directors of Girona, where they would welcome his return to Montilivi. The red and white institution is looking to reinforce the playmaker position in the last days of the market and Torre's name is on the table. For the young man it would be an opportunity to have continuity in a known project, but beyond interests, the footballer's future at the club will depend on Flick's decisions and the needs of the culé market, which could free up salary space with the departure. of the midfielder.
