This Saturday FC Barcelona will debut in LaLiga 2025/26 against RCD Mallorca, a club that now has the services of the former player of the 'azulgrana' team, Pablo Torre, who left the Catalan team due to the lack of opportunities and who has a clear objective.
In this sense, weeks before being transferred to the 'bermellón' team and after finishing the 24/25 season, the player, who was concentrated with the Spanish U-21 team to play in the European Championship of the category, expressed his discontent with the coach Hansi Flick.
"I think I could have played many more minutes, I think I earned them. There was a lot of competition and it was difficult to get in, but I think that part was not fair either and I told him in a talk I had with him," he said.
Thus, the '20' of the Son Moix team will seek as a local to show his best version and try to ruin a possible joy for a Barcelona that arrives with the desire to start the new campaign on the right foot.
Pablo Torre's time at Barça, overshadowed by competition
The fierce competition in the attacking midfielder area has been decisive in explaining Pablo Torre's limited participation under Flick's orders. A situation understandable if you take into account the presence of consolidated players in that demarcation such as Dani Olmo and Fermín López, in addition to the return of Gavi.
It is worth remembering that the player from Cantabria barely had 421 minutes in 21 games last season, in which he managed to score 4 goals and assist in 3 opportunities. The 22-year-old midfielder started this campaign linking a series of consecutive matches, but there was nothing he could do; ostracism consumed him over time at Barça.
He also played the 2023/24 season at Girona FC, after the agreement reached with Barcelona for his loan during that season. In his time with the 'gironins' team, Pablo Torre participated in 29 matches. In 22/23 he played 13 games with the first team of the 'azulgrana' team, and another 3 with Barça Atlètic.
This was Pablo's past at Barça, who paid 16 million euros to Racing de Santander for him in the summer of 2021 and ended up allowing him to leave for Mallorca in exchange for 5 'kilos', keeping 50% of his rights plus a repurchase option of 25 M€.
Pablo Torre landed on his feet in Mallorca
Pablo Torre has landed on his feet in Mallorca, where coach Jagoba Arrasate has been quick to give him support and project him as one of the pillars of his new scheme.
The Balearic coach sees in the player from Cantabria a talent to be polished, and Torre, aware that he has not yet deployed his full potential, faces this stage with the desire to take a step forward in his career.
Also, before his transfer was sealed, Arrasate called him to convince him to join the 'bermellón' team, something that obviously materialized for the good of all parties.
