Barcelona youngster eyeing a return to former club amid game-time uncertainty

Recently, it was confirmed by Barcelona Atlètic boss Rafa Marquez that Pablo Torre would set to play in the B team for the time being.

With the 19-year old looking set to play in the first-team at one point, a fresh revelation lifts the lid on the youngster feels about being instructed to wait his turn currently.

As per the latest information provided by journalist Santi Ovalle (h/t Reshad Rahman), Torre is believed to be unhappy about not being called up to play in the Barca senior team.

So much so that the Spaniard is assessing the prospect of returning to Racing Santander.

Xavi is understood to hold the opinion that the wonderkid should stay at the club, train and continue to learn the Barcelona way of playing football.

In addition, the Blaugrana legend is said to be eyeing the prospect of handing Pablo Torre minutes soon.

With the teenage sensation impressing in a pre-season friendly against fellow Catalan side Olot in a 1-1 draw, it’s clear to see that he has the minerals to play alongside the big boys in the side.

However, it is imperative to remind many that Barcelona have incredible strength-in-depth in the more attack-minded midfield roles.

With players such as Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Miralem Pjanic and Franck Kessie all capable of playing in the number eight role, it would take a herculean effort for Torre to displace an array of such established midfielders.

While one does not suggest that the starlet cannot play in Barcelona’s senior team, it is key to note that the club play a signature brand of football, which takes time to bed into.

As a result, throwing Pablo Torre into the deep end straightaway has been deemed unadvisable currently.
