Barcelona in very advanced negotiations with La Liga rivals to loan out youngster

It is certain that Pablo Torre will leave FC Barcelona on loan this summer after enduring a difficult debut season when he found regular minutes hard to come by.

Given that Barcelona have roped in Ilkay Gundogan and could go for another midfielder like Giovani Lo Celso, things will hardly improve for Torre in the upcoming campaign.

As such, the 20-year-old will be on his way out on loan to a First Division club so as to gain experience and continue his development.

There is no shortage of interest in the former Racing Santander either, with Valencia, Villarreal, and Girona among his suitors.

Now, though, SPORT is reporting that Torre could very well be on his way to Girona, with negotiations between the clubs understood to be at a very advanced stage.

Barcelona and Girona have already been in talks over a transfer for Oriol Romeu, with the 31-year-old close to joining the La Liga champions to reinforce the pivot midfield position.

And, Torre could move the other way, although the two deals are being treated separately by the Catalan outfits, although it is not ruled out that they will be announced simultaneously.

In recent days, several La Liga clubs such as Villarreal, Real Betis, and Celta Vigo are understood to have approached Torre’s agents with proposals, with Barcelona open to sanctioning a loan exit for him.

But, as things stand, it appears that the Montilivi will likely be the 20-year-old midfield prodigy’s next destination, at least for the 2023/24 season.

A move to a La Liga club on loan will do a world of good for Torre as regular game-time at this level would help him gain valuable experience before returning to Barcelona a year later.
