The return of Fermín López has been a breath of fresh air for Barcelona, especially for Hansi Flick, who has added a crucial piece to his midfield. After recovering from injury, Fermín has come back strong and is ready to become an important player in the coming months, adding significant depth to Barcelona’s squad this season.
However, according to information from the Catalan newspaper *Sport*, Fermín’s recovery has brought a clear challenge: the complication of Pablo Torre’s situation within the team. Pablo Torre was considered one of the great talents of Spanish football when he arrived at Barcelona from Racing Santander, but his role in the team has remained secondary until now.
With the arrival of Flick and the emergence of young talents like Fermín, Pablo Torre’s opportunities have diminished significantly. The presence of established players like Pedri and Dani Olmo means that Torre has very few chances to play in Flick’s system.
Flick’s decision to rely on Fermín López was not surprising, as the youth team player has demonstrated great technical quality and the ability to make sacrifices qualities that the German coach is looking for. Additionally, Fermín’s versatility, being able to play in midfield and other attacking positions, makes him a valuable asset for a team facing tough competitions such as La Liga and the Champions League.
With Fermín in top form and Pedri as the first choice in midfield, Pablo Torre’s path has become more complicated. As an attacking midfielder, Torre needs minutes to continue his development, but it is difficult for Flick to provide him with the opportunities he requires.
In these circumstances, Pablo Torre may seek an exit in January. Although his original desire was to succeed at Barcelona, he is aware that the lack of minutes could hinder his progress.
The winter transfer market will provide an opportunity for both the player and the club to find a solution. Several teams from La Liga and abroad have expressed interest in him, making a loan or transfer the most suitable option for everyone.
