A La Liga club has finalized a savvy transfer deal for a promising Barcelona youngster, marking a strategic move for both sides.
Barcelona football club continues to assemble its squad for the 2025-26 season under new coach Hansi Flick, often with limited talent and also being limited financially.
Having won LaLiga and the Copa Del Rey in 2024, Barcelona is currently trying to shape its squad into a competitive one, particularly in the areas of the pitch with the most talent, its midfield, though it must de-clutter it for LaLiga financial compliance.
Sporting director Deco appears very keen to clear out fringe players first, and has been looking for a combination of getting compensation for young talented players, and, hopefully keeping control of them in the future, whilst also taking in immediate cash to get some high-profile signings for Flick’s probable ambitious route back to success in Europe.
This most recent news is about Pablo Torre, who is leaving Barcelona on a € 5 million move to RCD Mallorca, subject to all the usual terms in the case of any pre-transfer resolutions obstructing the official signing, as reported by AS.
The buy-back clause is between €10-12 million, which would allow Barcelona to have the opportunity to get back the La Masia graduate if they wish to do so, should he make a success of his move at Mallorca.
Torre only made 14 appearances in the 2024-25 season with Barcelona, and Torre had expressed that he would like more minutes under Flick, so it looked like a sensible option for both player and club.
Mallorca was looking for a creative central midfielder, and, in the case of Torre, he fits their profile and the negotiation has been advanced, and Barcelona has signed 50% of Torre’s possible future sell-on rights in any transfer.
This transfer is indicative of a wider Barcelona strategy to use youth assets to overcome financial issues while keeping options open for future returns.
Torre’s departure is a continuation of other deals like Mika Faye’s that have included buyback clauses for the youth team, all while keeping Barcelona’s long-term interests protected.
