Porto Set to Sign Barcelona’s Pablo Torre Following Nico Gonzalez Sale
Porto are in advanced talks with Barcelona regarding the potential signing of Pablo Torre, as the Portuguese club prepares to part ways with Nico Gonzalez, reports suggest.
Nico Gonzalez, the 23-year-old midfielder who moved from Barcelona to Porto last summer, is set to complete a £50m move to Manchester City. This transfer marks a significant deal for Porto, and reports indicate that Barcelona holds a sell-on clause worth up to 40% for Nico, meaning the La Liga giants are set to benefit from the transfer.
With Gonzalez departing for City, Porto has turned their attention to Pablo Torre, a 21-year-old midfielder at Barcelona. Torre has struggled to secure regular minutes at Barcelona this season, having only played 373 minutes across 12 appearances. Despite limited playing time, Torre has impressed with 4 goals and 3 assists, making him an intriguing option for Porto as they search for a replacement for Gonzalez.
Barcelona’s Midfield Shuffle and Transfer Plans
Barcelona is facing stiff competition for Torre’s position in the midfield, and coach Hansi Flick is reluctant to let any players leave before the window closes. However, with the high level of competition at Barcelona, Torre may explore options elsewhere to ensure more game time. Reports suggest that Porto sees Torre as a potential bargain, and with the club in need of reinforcements, they could make a move for the young talent.
Barcelona has been relatively quiet on transfer deadline day, with rumors swirling about the potential exits of key players like Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, and Ansu Fati. However, with time running out on the transfer window, it looks like the trio will remain at Camp Nou until the summer.
What’s Next for Pablo Torre and Barcelona?
Torre’s potential departure would mark another change in Barcelona’s midfield lineup, but can Porto secure his signature before the window closes? Will Barcelona continue to be active in the market despite their quiet deadline day?
