Explanation: The reason why the 21-year-old Barcelona star has struggled for prominence since signing in 2022
This summer may be a chance for many Barcelona players to be reevaluated in the eyes of the club's sports department, which is now led by the new manager, Hansi Flick. Pablo Torre is one of those who aim to impress, and his situation has been more difficult than others in the last week or so.

Torre broke a bone in his hand on Tuesday, which led to surgery on Thursday. Remarkably, he returned to training 48 hours later, showing his dedication to impressing Flick and his coaching staff.
However, Torre may find it harder than others to stay in Barcelona's first team next season. Relief they reported that €1 million goes to Real Racing Club de Santander for every 10 games the 21-year-old plays (45+ minutes). Currently, he has only managed four appearances in this criterion.
Barcelona paid 5 million euros to sign Torre in the summer of 2022, and that fee could increase to 19 million euros if 140 appearances of 45+ minutes were accumulated by the young midfielder. At a time when they cannot afford to pay unnecessary funds, it makes it difficult for Torre to stay in the first team.
