In a recent report, Sport offered an update on the future of Barcelona youngster Pablo Torre who is currently playing on loan at Girona. It is understood that the Catalan club are looking to cash in on the Spanish midfielder later this year.
Torre’s Loan Spell At Girona This Season
Torre is having an up-and-down loan spell at Girona as he has struggled to nail down a regular starting spot for them in La Liga. However, he has caught the eye at times by scoring one goal and grabbing a couple of assists in 27 matches for the Spanish outfit this season across all fronts.
The 21-year-old has made most of his appearances off the bench which explains why he is only averaging 0.5 shots, 0.4 key passes and 0.2 dribbles per game in La Liga. He has also been tidy when distributing the ball from midfield after completing 85.1% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at Barcelona will run out in the summer of 2026. Thus, there is no immediate need for Xavi to cash in on him at the end of this campaign.
Should Barcelona Boss Xavi Let Torre Go?
Torre can do a little bit of everything at the centre of the park when he is playing regularly and with confidence on the pitch. He usually works hard for his team defensively and can shoot the ball with power from long range.
The Spanish whizkid can create the odd chance for his teammates in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also function in the number ten position and play as a left-sided wide player if required.
At the moment, Barcelona simply cannot afford to offer Torre a regular first-team spot at the Nou Camp next season. Thus, it makes sense for Xavi to let the talented starlet leave in search of more game time in the upcoming transfer window.
At 21, Torre has got the potential to become a future star in Spain. Hence, it is only fair to the youngster if the Catalan club allow him to depart permanently when the transfer window commences later this year.
