Although he started the season with a very thin midfield line, Hansi Flick now has multiple options for the three midfield spots at FC Barcelona. Players like Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Pablo Torre are all competing for the three spots in the middle of the field.

Among these players, Marc Casado and Pedri are the most frequently used players by Flick, but recently, other players like Frenkie, Gavi, Olmo, and Fermin Lopez have also returned from their injuries and are now vying for minutes.

In these circumstances, one player who has suffered the most is Pablo Torre. The Spaniard has displayed a good level whenever given the chance, but with the return of these previously injured players, minutes are hard for him to come by.

He played just one minute against Celta Vigo last night, marking his first appearance in over a month. His last outing came on October 20th against Sevilla, where he featured only in the closing minutes of the game. Even Hansi Flick believes he deserves more time on the pitch.

In such a context, SPORT reports that Barcelona are open to allowing the midfielder to leave in January, as they trust him a lot and there is concern at the club that his development will stagnate if things do not change soon.

It will ultimately depend on the player on what decision he makes about his future, but at the moment, the player wants to continue at the Blaugrana club.

But if he decided to leave the club on loan in January, there are several first-division clubs that might generate the interest of the Spaniard. One such club is Celta Vigo, the team Barcelona faced last night and against whom they dropped 2 points.

A final decision in this regard will be made by the player in January, but Barcelona will not force anything, and Torre will have full freedom to decide his future.
