Pablo Torre was on the verge of an exit from FC Barcelona as FC Porto approached to inquire about the player. A move to Porto did not seem very unlikely as Pablo Torre has not recieved considerable playing time under Hansi Flick.
Refusal by Hansi Flick
Hansi Flick told the club that he needs the youngster in his squad and asked them to reject any offers by Porto. The German manager values the attacking playstyle of Pablo Torre and wants him to develop into a major player for the first team.
Why Pablo Torre is an important asset for Barca
Pablo Torre is an attacking midfielder that can help Hansi Flick’s side in creating and finishing chances. In the absence of Dani Olmo, Pablo Torre can take the reigns of Barca’s attack without Hansi Flick compromising on quality. The youngster is player witha lot of flare and ideas and can create something out of nothing. Torre proved his worth to the coach and fans in Barca’s Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro.
He can also be a answer against the teams that play a lowblock to cope with Hansi Flick’s attacking side as he is excellent in finding spaces between the defence no matter how small. He can create enough space to get a shot away or sneak a pass through tight defenses to his forwards.
