Barcelona reach agreement to sign Spanish wonderkid, deal could be announced today

Barcelona have, according to Albert Roge, closed the signing for Racing Santander attacking midfielder Pablo Torre, today. The transfer fee is said to be close to his €10 million release clause, and their intention is to announce the deal officially today.

Real Madrid were set to be the other club hot on the trails for Torre, but the involvement of Xavi was key in the final decision.

That said, Barcelona have not decided yet whether the 18-year-old will play with Barcelona B, the first-team or stay on loan Racing, especially if the team is promoted to La Liga SmartBank – the second tier of Spanish football.

Torre has taken the third tier by storm this season and is following in the footsteps of Pedri. With six goals and six assists, he is one of the most prolific players in the league.

Talks between the two are in the final stages, with discussions on the variables still ongoing. Are Barcelona going to add another exceptionally talented midfielder to their ranks? It certainly looks like that.
