Barcelona closely monitoring 23-year-old former midfielder’s situation – report According to SPORT , Barcelona are keeping a close watch on Pablo Torre’s future following Mallorca’s relegation from La Liga, with the Catalan club still retaining significant control over the midfielder’s long-term future. Although Mallorca were unable to avoid the drop, Torre finished the season in impressive form, establishing himself as one of the team’s standout performers during the final months of the campaign. Strong finish despite relegation The 23-year-old Torre enjoyed his most consistent spell since joining Mallorca, making 12 consecutive starts during the closing stages of the season. Operating primarily as an attacking midfielder, Torre became a key creative outlet, particularly from set pieces. He ended the 2025/26 campaign with a tally of four goals and five assists from 38 games in all competitions. Pablo Torre had a good season at Mallorca.

Barcelona retain significant control Mallorca signed Torre from Barcelona last summer in a deal worth €5 million for 50% of the player’s rights. The Blaugrana deliberately retained the remaining 50%, ensuring they would continue to have a major say over his future. Within the club, there has never been any doubt about Torre’s talent, which is why the sporting department chose not to relinquish full ownership when negotiating the transfer. As things stand, Barcelona are not currently considering bringing Torre back to the club. However, they are closely monitoring developments as uncertainty surrounds his next move. The former Racing Santander midfielder’s contract includes a clause allowing him to join a La Liga club on loan if Mallorca are relegated. Pablo Torre could leave Mallorca.

Mallorca hope to keep him New Mallorca manager Luis Garcia, however, is keen to retain Torre as part of the club’s push for an immediate return to La Liga. The 23-year-old midfielder, though, is understood to prefer remaining in Spain’s top division if a suitable opportunity arises. The departure of former coach Martin Demichelis, one of Torre’s strongest supporters, may also influence the midfielder’s decision over the coming weeks. Sources close to Mallorca indicate that no transfer offers have yet been received, although the club’s negotiating position is limited because of the loan clause included in his contract. If Torre ultimately leaves on loan, Barcelona would not receive an immediate financial benefit, despite still owning half of his sporting rights. His release clause remains set at €25 million.
