Joan Laporta Makes the Decision: Flick Accepts His Leave, Dani Olmo Feels Responsible

Joan Laporta wants the best for himself

Joan Laporta is all smiles. Barça are in for a treat ahead of their match against Sevilla. Today, Hansi Flick will be able to count on three key players who have been discharged: Gavi, Dani Olmo and Fermín.

With their return, the coach has a range of midfield options. He also brings in Frenkie de Jong, who had already played a few minutes recently. These additions strengthen Barça, but there's a small problem for Pablo Torre.

Joan Laporta convinces Hansi Flick

The young midfielder, who has had a good start to the season, will see his playing time reduced. Competition in the midfield is strong. This has led Joan Laporta to consider a loan in January so that Torre can continue to develop. Laporta is confident in the player's future and is looking for a team where he can continue to grow.

The options being considered are those that play a similar style to Barça, such as Girona, Betis or Celta. However, no club from outside the League is ruled out.

Dani Olmo takes it on

Hansi Flick agrees with this decision, as long as injuries don't continue to affect the squad. A departure would allow Torre to continue his progress without losing his competitive rhythm. On the other hand, Dani Olmo, who has a special affection for Torre, feels somewhat responsible for this situation, although he recognizes that it is part of soccer. For Olmo, the most important thing is that his teammate continues to grow and has minutes to demonstrate his potential.

The return of Gavi, Dani Olmo and Fermin puts Barça in an excellent position to face the challenges of the season. Hansi Flick, with a strengthened midfield, now has multiple options to deploy his tactical formation and face Sevilla and the upcoming matches. However, the fate of Pablo Torre remains hanging in the air, with a possible loan in January to ensure that he continues to get quality minutes. The aim is to ensure that he is not relegated to a testimonial role in the team.

The club's priority is to ensure that Torre continues to grow in a place that allows him to continue developing. Meanwhile, Barça wants to compete with its renewed and talented midfield. The player continues to grow and it is hoped that he can be an important piece in the Barça of the future.
