FC Barcelona And First Team Player Agree Transfer
An FC Barcelona star on the fringes of Hansi Flick's first team has agreed to leave the club according to outlets such as SER, citing anonymous sources.
Using X, formerly known as Twitter, SER confirmed that Pablo Torre has decided to play for RCD Mallorca.
'The saga is over; after considering his options, he chooses to play on the island,' the radio station explained, while adding how all that remains is to finalize the details of the sale between the two clubs and the layout of a buyback option.
Also on X, SPORT collaborator Quim Casademunt tweeted that the sale had been confirmed and that the defending La Liga champion will retain a buyback clause or percentage of any future sale of the young midfielder.
According to Casademunt, the sale is for €5 million to Barca's Spanish top flight rivals, who in 2024 reached the Copa del Rey final.
If the sale is for this amount, Barca does not make a loss on Torre. That's because it reportedly paid the same amount for him from Racing Santander in 2022, when he was talked up as the potential future of Spanish football alongside the likes of Pedri and since Lamine Yamal.
While those two stars went onto become full-fledge La Roja internationals and Euro 2024 winners, Torre, though an U21 regular, hasn't yet made it to Luis de La Fuente's senior side.
That's not helped by the fact he's struggled to secure regular minutes in Catalonia, either on the watch of club legend Xavi Hernandez or his successor Hansi Flick.
With the likes of Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado and Marc Bernal in his way to mention a few hours, however, it is no simple task getting one of three spots in the middle of the park.
Torre still leaves FC Barcelona a champion
Still, although he probably would've liked to have got more chances and made a bigger impact, Torre leaves FC Barcelona a winner. Even in such a short amount of time donning Blaugrana, he is a two-time La Liga and Spanish Super Cup champion while having also lifted the Copa del Rey at Real Madrid's expense.

Euro 2025 final key battles as England seek revenge for Spain's World Cup win
England and Spain will do battle in a second consecutive major final at the European Women's Championship on Sunday. Spain got the better of Sarina Wiegman's side in the World Cup decider two years ago but England will be bidding to retain the trophy they won in 2022. Here, the PA news agency looks at the key contests on the pitch that could decide the match. Alessia Russo v Irene Paredes Spain have not conceded a goal in the knockout stages and have hugely experienced captain Paredes at the centre of their defence. They are undoubtedly a tough nut to crack but Germany showed in the semi-finals that a direct approach can cause them issues. Russo's only goal at the tournament so far came in the big group-stage win over Wales but her workrate and ability to lead the line make her a key player for England whether or not she is on the scoresheet. Paredes will not have fond memories of Russo's pressing in Arsenal's recent Champions League victory against Barcelona. Keira Walsh v Aitana Bonmati The midfield battle is likely to be key to deciding the outcome, and Spain have big hitters in Alexia Putellas and Bonmati, who has won the Ballon d'Or Feminin the last two years. Walsh knows the pair's strengths extremely well having spent two and a half years as team-mates of both at Barcelona. The technical ability of Spain's midfield means it would be a surprise if they do not dominate possession and Walsh may well have to sacrifice her own ball-playing ambitions to a degree to try to be a disruptor and help prevent England's defence coming under too much threat. Leah Williamson v Esther Gonzalez A big concern for Wiegman and England fans will be how shaky the defence has looked at times. While England have managed to dig themselves out of their self-made holes so far, similar generosity against Spain could see them heavily punished. England captain Williamson has a key role to play in marshalling the backline and in trying to blunt the danger of Spain striker Esther Gonzalez. The Gotham FC forward is the tournament's top goalscorer with four, although she has not yet found the net in the knockout stages.
