Official: Barca have announced an agreement with Atlético Santander on the transfer of Pablo Torre, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder who will join Barca B in June and sign until 2026, with a penalty of €100 million.
Barca's official website confirmed that the fixed fee for the transaction is 5 million euros, and the total cost of the transaction may exceed 20 million euros, taking into account the floating terms based on the growth and performance of players in the coming years.
Torre joined Atlético Santander u13 in 2015 and made his first-team debut for the team in October 2020, having played 48 games to date and contributing 6 goals and 7 assists in 23 games this season.
Barca are already preparing for next season, with Laporta and his team focused on the free transfer market, while two of Christensen, Frank Casey and Azpilicueta are expected to land at Camp Nou in the summer.
Unless there is an accident, Christensen and Casey will join Barca on a free transfer, both players have expressed their willingness to play for Xavi's team, and Barca do not have to pay a penny transfer fee for this, of course, other clubs are also interested in Christensen and Casey, but Barca believe they have provided attractive enough conditions.
Another star whose contract is about to expire is a little different, the Spaniard is also willing to join Barca, but Chelsea have the veteran's contract extension clause, if they activate the clause, then Barca can only impress the Blues with an offer, which la Liga giants are not willing to do.
It is reported that Barca are currently waiting for Azpilicueta to clarify his intention to leave the team to Chelsea, but the final decision is still in the hands of the Blues.
Klopp recently said he plans to leave Liverpool in 2024, although the German also stressed that his final decision depends on his energy when his contract expires.
Asked about his future plans, Klopp said: "The current plan is, I'm going to work until 2024, thank you very much!" What factors affect my decision? It depends on whether I still have that kind of energy, which is important.
I love my job, but I've told you many times that there must be other things in the world besides thinking about technology, good players, and so on. But I didn't think about that, I'm energetic at the moment, but I have to make sure that then (when the contract expires) so. ”
