With the return of some previously injured players like Frenkie de Jong and Gavi, Hansi Flick now has a surplus of players for his FC Barcelona midfield, despite starting the season with a visible lack of options in this area of the team.
As things stand, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Marc Casado, Frenkie de Jong, Fermin Lopez, Gavi, and Pablo Torre are all competing for the three midfield spots. Assessing Flick’s choices in the last few games, it is clear that Pablo Torre is the player lowest in the pecking order, [as he has not gotten even a single minute in the last five games](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/21-year-old-barcelona-player-remains-without-a-single-minute-on-the-pitch-for-five-consecutive-games/).
This situation is starkly different from the one at the end of September when Torre started three consecutive games for Flick. After making his season debut in the game against Real Valladolid, he went on to start against Villarreal, Getafe, and Osasuna. He also scored in the game against Villarreal.
After the September international break, he reappeared as a substitute in the game against Sevilla, in which he got only 14 minutes on the pitch. But these 14 minutes were enough for him to score two goals.
He once again started in the match against Las Palmas, but since then, he has not got a single minute in the matches against Mallorca, Real Betis, Borussia Dortmund, Leganes, and Atletico Madrid.
However, according to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20241224/1002376493/pablo-torre-plantea-salir-enero.html), the midfielder is still clear that he wants to remain at Barcelona, especially as he understands there will be more opportunities for him after the Christmas break, when the team starts its Copa del Rey campaign.
There have also been no notable proposals for him from other clubs, and the Spaniard is aiming to win as many titles at the Blaugrana club. Similarly, he also wants to make it to the senior Spanish national side, but for this purpose, he understands he will have to take maximum advantage of the minutes he is offered by Barcelona.
