The winter transfer market concluded with an unexpected movement at FC Barcelona. While a quiet end was expected for the Blaugrana club, the departure of Nico González to Manchester City for 60 million euros had a significant impact on the sports planning. Besides injecting a substantial sum into the club's coffers, this operation left Porto in need of strengthening their midfield, leading the Portuguese club to set their sights on Pablo Torre.

The team led by André Villas-Boas made an 8 million euro offer for the young midfielder from Cantabria, a figure similar to what they once paid for Nico González. With fierce competition at Barça, where players like Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Fermín López, and Dani Olmo dominate minutes in their positions, it seemed like an ideal opportunity for Torre to seek more prominence in another league. However, the footballer chose to stay and continue fighting for a place in Hansi Flick's team.

They contemplated leaving, but let the player decide

As reported by the newspaper Sport, from the Blaugrana sports management, the player's departure was not a priority, although Porto's proposal was deemed attractive. Nevertheless, the club's stance was clear: a loan was not part of the plans, and a sale would only have been considered if Torre had shown willingness to move elsewhere. With the market now closed, the Cantabrian will focus on seizing the opportunities provided by Flick, with the aim of establishing himself in the team and demonstrating his worth at Camp Nou. His contract with Barça runs until June 2026, giving him room to continue growing and earning the trust of the German coach.
