Several players of the first team were mentioned for a start in the middle of the season, but in the end, only the captain of the Barca Atletic, Unai Hernandez, left for Al-Ittihad, an agreement that was not very well received by the club's board of directors.
Another young midfielder who could have left is Pablo Torre. FC Porto has made an approach to recruit the 21 -year -old on the day of the transfer date, but no agreement was finally reached – for several reasons.
Flick has not given its green light to Torre because he considers him as a precious player, despite his lack of notoriety in recent months. Meanwhile, there has also been a certain resistance on the side of Porto.
No green light
As Révo reported, there was an internal disagreement in Porto on the possible signature of Torre, which would have been a permanent agreement. The sports department wanted FC Barcelona player, but the new coach Martin Anselmi wanted a player more in the mold of Nico Gonzalez, who left the club on the day of the transfer date to join Manchester City.
This slowed down the negotiations and, in the end, the agreement failed without many progress having been made. This means that Torre stayed in Barcelona at least until the end of the season, when his place at the club will probably be reassessed.
Torre impressed a lot when he was used by Flick, and for this reason, it is not surprising that the German coach was a big fan of the playmaker. However, he really had trouble having time Game since the return of players like Dani Olmo, Gavi and Frenkie de Jong, and therefore his development is affected.
