Barcelona Set to Part Ways with Young Midfielder in Season Finale
According to Sport, Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao may mark the final appearance for one of the club’s young midfielders. The match, to be played at San Mamés Stadium on Sunday, carries little competitive weight, as Barça had already clinched the league title with their win over Espanyol in Round 36.
While the squad heads into a six-week summer break following the season’s end, head coach Hansi Flick is staying behind in Barcelona to work alongside sporting director Deco and president Joan Laporta on shaping the squad for the 2025/26 campaign. The club’s transfer activity will be focused on reinforcing key areas, although any new arrivals are expected to depend on player departures to free up space and manage financial fair play constraints.
One player on the brink of an exit is Pablo Torre. The young midfielder is reportedly set to leave the club, with today’s match potentially serving as his last official outing in a Barcelona shirt. Torre has struggled to find minutes under Flick, having not featured since March and last starting a league game in September. Flick has consistently favored a midfield built around Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Dani Olmo, with additional playing time allocated to Gavi, Fermín López, and Marc Casadó.
Due to his lack of involvement and limited role in Flick’s plans, Barcelona is open to selling Torre in the summer, provided the right offer comes in. Another option being explored is extending his contract before arranging a loan move to aid his development while maintaining his long-term potential at the club.
Whether or not Torre appears in the final match remains uncertain, but signs point toward a farewell. For the promising midfielder, this game could mark the end of his chapter at Barcelona—at least for now—as the club prepares for a reshaped midfield and a renewed push for success in the next season.
