Lazio are making waves in the transfer market, targeting a talented Barcelona midfielder to bolster their squad.
Barcelona is expected to sell multiple players this summer as they clean up the roster, which means one promising young midfielder is reportedly receiving lots of interest from Serie A.
Although praised by the coaching staff, the 22-year-old has struggled to earn a regular spot due to the competition at attacking midfielder.
With the 2025 transfer window looming, the Catalan outfit is willing to entertain a loan or permanent transfer with clauses for future engagement.
The player in question is Pablo Torre, a young Spaniard who joined Barca from Racing Santander for €5 million in 2022.
La Lazio Siamo Noi reports that Lazio, now back with Maurizio Sarri, have started talks for a €6 million permanent transfer.
Torre’s combination of creativity and attacking instinct fits in well with Lazio’s vision for the midfield. Torre only played just over 400 minutes of football during the 2024/25 season and scored four goals with three assists, marking him as a prospect due to being behind stars like Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, and Gavi.
With just a year left on his contract, a move could benefit both Torre and Barcelona, who are likely to add some combination of a buyback and sell-on clause in any deal.
Lazio’s interest in Torre has outstripped Bundesliga clubs also interested in the midfielder. They want him, and they want him fast.
The modest €6 million fee would generate a profit for Barcelona while also allowing Torre to showcase his talent in Serie A.
If the transfer progresses, this could be an important point in Torre’s career, where he gets regular minutes to develop and demonstrate his promise.
