Although Hansi Flick began the season with a limited midfield lineup, he now has several options for the three central midfield positions at FC Barcelona. Players like Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Pablo Torre are all competing for those spots.
Among them, Marc Casado and Pedri have been Flickâs most frequently used players, but recently, others such as Frenkie, Gavi, Olmo, and Fermin Lopez have returned from injuries and are now also vying for playing time.
In this scenario, Pablo Torre has been the most affected. Despite showing good form when given a chance, his opportunities have been limited due to the return of injured players. He played just one minute in the match against Celta Vigo last night, marking his first appearance in over a month. His last appearance was on October 20th against Sevilla, where he only played in the final minutes. Even Hansi Flick acknowledges that Torre deserves more playing time.
According to SPORT, Barcelona are open to letting the midfielder leave on loan in January, as they have faith in his abilities and are concerned that his development could stall if he doesn’t get more minutes soon.
Ultimately, the decision will lie with the player regarding his future, though for now, Torre is eager to stay at Barcelona. However, if he opts to leave on loan, several top-tier clubs, including Celta Vigo, might be interested. A final decision will be made by Torre in January, but Barcelona will not pressure him and will allow him to decide his next move freely.
