14 - Pablo Torre

Great deal if true.

Mallorca have reached a personal agreement with Pablo Torre, with a deal between clubs now close. The two sides are finalizing terms for a 50% ownership transfer valued at €5 million. Barcelona will retain a buy-back clause, expected to be set between €10 and €12 million.[DiarioAs]
We probably won't buy him back - but 50% on future transfer would be nice. He'll probably end up mid-table EPL 2 seasons from now for around 30M. That's another 10M and we need to think about Masia's reputation - even if players don't make it in Barca, we won't make their lives and careers difficult just to make an extra million or two. We do that and many will think twice about joining us... Let them choose where they want to go if they don't make it with us, make some future % - and hopefully everybody ends upp happy'ish.
We didn't do Torre dirty really, but I also think he should have gotten' more minutes - if he want's a move to a LL team for now than alright, we shouldn't be a pathetic and petty club like those bitches in Bilbao for example.

2 goals vs Sevilla, assist and goal vs Villareal away... he did many good things in the few minutes he played.

Oh, please, give me a break here.
The Sevilla game was 3-0 when he was subbed in the last 15 minutes.
Villarreal was one good game (and for that matter, it was the entire team) which was a career game for someone who is the same age as Pedri. Such game is the reason we are getting any money for him, otherwise he is a "sell for free and percentage" we typically get for La Masia mediocre talents.

Yes, but he didn't get much game time where he played poorly. Salah was a Chelsea reject after all, there's always a chance some players make it after not being trusted much and then as a club you need to keep options on the table. It is good we have options to get him back if Torre proves hinself.

His situation is unclear atm.
