Hansi Flick identifies Dani Olmo’s replacement at Barcelona after player’s registration failure
In the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, a young Barcelona player made an impressive impact, sending a strong signal to the coach about his readiness for a larger role in the team. Despite the club’s tough situation, this player has shown enough potential to become a valuable option if squad changes occur. With the winter transfer window approaching, his chances could increase.
As reported by Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Pablo Torre is eager to seize his chance. In the Copa del Rey match, Torre displayed his talents and proved he could be a suitable substitute for Dani Olmo, especially if financial issues affect Olmo’s future at the club. At just 21 years old, Torre demonstrated his worth and sent a clear message to coach Hansi Flick that he is ready for an important role at Barcelona.
The match gave Torre the perfect opportunity to shine. He scored the fourth goal and assisted Robert Lewandowski twice, with Lewandowski continuing his excellent scoring form. Torre, starting the year strongly, is determined to show Flick that he deserves a more prominent position, even with increased interest from various clubs ahead of the winter transfer window.
Playing on the right wing, a spot typically filled by Lamine Yamal, Torre impressed despite their differing playing styles. Although Torre is right-footed and slower than Yamal, he caught Flick’s attention with his sharp vision, set-piece accuracy, and game-reading abilities, capitalizing on the opponent’s errors.
With a busy January schedule and key players like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor unavailable, Torre’s role could become essential. Despite limited playing time and often featuring in the reserve team during training, his performance against Barbastro could mark a turning point in his season.
Pablo Torre has stepped up at the right time, and now it’s up to Hansi Flick to make his choice. What’s clear is that Torre has the talent and drive to fight for a spot at Barcelona, which is actively seeking solutions amid its current challenges.
