Barcelona starlet will train with his new team tomorrow as loan move edges closer

Journalist Albert Roge has confirmed that Barcelona midfielder Pablo Torre will complete his loan move to Girona in the next few hours and that he will have his next training session under his new manager Michel tomorrow.

Torre happens to be the missing jigsaw that completed Barcelona’s move for Girona midfielder Oriol Romeu. It has been confirmed that Romeu has not trained with his team because of the fact that he is undergoing his medical to become a new Barça player.

It is said that the 31-year-old former Southampton midfielder will arrive n a deal worth €5 million plus add-ons and the same move will see Torre moving the other way on loan.

Interestingly enough, Girona were also interested in acquiring Nico Gonzalez, who also happens to have attracted interest from Valencia and FC Porto, but as it turns out, the 21-year-old will, in fact, be a part of Xavi’s team that will travel to the United States for the pre-season tour. His transfer to Porto, however, is highly touted to happen this summer.

As for Romeu, he will become Barcelona’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City, Inigo Martinez from Athletic Club, and Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense. It must be noted that despite doing the business this summer, Roque will only be arriving in Barcelona next year.

As far as Torre is concerned, a loan move to Girona will be extremely beneficial for the 20-year-old. This is because at Barcelona, he would have struggled for game time due to an increase in competition and at his age, he certainly needs as much game time as he can.

The youngster, who made 13 appearances across all competition last season for the La Liga champions, can eventually return and fight for his place next summer.
