Barça's focused on a January market marked by the need to make adjustments to the team. Hansi Flick, along with Deco, is open to making sales to reduce the wage bill and free up space for more strategic transfers.
In this regard, among the players who could leave are Ferran, Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, Héctor Fort, or Pau Victor. These potential departures would be key to strengthening the team and improving it in certain aspects with some transfer that Barça is attempting.
Ansu is the Main Candidate to Leave
Ansu Fati is emerging as the main priority to be sold. Despite his talent and enormous potential, the Spanish forward hasn't managed to regain his level after the injuries that affected him in recent years. With a high salary and not showing the expected performance, his departure could be one of the solutions to ease the club's finances and make room for new additions.
Additionally, his lack of prominence and the competition in Barça's forward line have made Ansu not a useful piece for Flick. Therefore, his future seems to be far from the Ciudad Condal.
Another Player Might Have Requested to Leave Due to Limited Playing Time with Flick
On the other hand, another player who could leave Barça this January is Pablo Torre, who, according to "El Nacional.cat," might have requested to leave. Despite his promising talent, the 21-year-old midfielder has had minimal presence in the team during the season.
The lack of minutes could push him to seek an exit that allows him to gain experience and playing time with another team. Therefore, Barça could let him be loaned to another team so he could return in the summer.
The 'overbooking' in Midfield Prompts His Departure
The main reason why Pablo Torre hasn't had more opportunities at Barça is the overcrowding of midfielders. In the team, the blaugrana team has Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Marc Casadó, and Fermín López for three positions. In this context, his departure could be beneficial for both the club and the player, who could find a place in another team where he's given more opportunities.
Pablo Torre's future, therefore, could be outside Barcelona, at least for this season. However, it's also true that the club fully trusts his talent and, therefore, he'll be given more opportunities in the future.
