As Barcelona prepares for the 2025-26 transfer market, the club’s priority is to thin out the squad in order to relieve financial pressure and make room for new signings.
With a bloated wage bill holding them back from registering incoming players, the Blaugrana are eager to rid themselves of several fringe stars first and foremost.
One young midfielder who was unable to find consistent opportunities under Hansi Flick is most likely to leave.
The club is willing to take drastic measures, including a contract termination if necessary, to have a lean squad going into their La Liga title defence.
The player in question is Pablo Torre, a 22-year-old midfield talent who was highly valued when he joined Barcelona, but was unable to make the first team.
The player, Pablo Torre, has racked up only limited appearances to be in the picture, and thus has no memorable moments for Flick to swoop in for him.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona is contemplating tearing up Torre’s contract, with just one year remaining, in the event that a transfer does not happen.
Deco, the club’s sporting director, hopes to find a conclusion to the situation after the UEFA U-21 European Championship in Slovakia, where Torre’s performance could increase his market value and interest.
Interest in Torre is already developing from La Liga clubs like Valencia and Sevilla, who are monitoring the situation.
Deco has accelerated the exit process since returning from Brazil, in an effort to look for financial room for players like Joan Garcia and Luis Diaz.
Along with Torre, players like Ansu Fati, Oriol Romeu, and Pau Victor are expected to leave as well.
Barcelona is hopeful that a positive performance is enough to convince teams to take Torre, eliminating the need to pay an expensive contract termination, and allowing them to change out some of their squad for next year.
