Barça will pay one million for every 10 games of Pablo Torre

For the first time in its history, Racing issued an official note on March 4th announcing the Figures for the transfer of Pablo Torre to Fútbol Club Barcelona: “The operation starts from a fixed amount of five million euros, it can exceed 20 depending on other variables linked to the individual development of the player’s career trained at the Nando Yosu Facilities”. Today, AS anticipates what these variables depend on: the number of games that Pablo plays as a starter for Barça in the coming seasons and whether, during the duration of the contract, he makes his debut with the absolute Spanish team.

Specifically, the club chaired by Joan Laporta has agreed to pay uAn additional million euros for every 10 official matches in which Soto de la Marina plays more than 45 minutes in the Blaugrana shirt. Given how unusual it is that a substitution occurs during the first half (except for injury, expulsion or major anger of a coach), in practice this clause comes to require the ownership of Pablo to compute the match for the purpose of the bonus to Racing. The limit is set at 14 million euros, so from the Cantabrian’s 141st ownership, Barça would no longer have to continue paying.

The contract between both clubs specifies that the ‘official’ matches that count are only those of LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and, also, those of the Europa League. It must be remembered that this agreement was closed on March 4 and that Barça was fourth at that time, tied for fifth, and could jeopardize its participation in the Champions League for next season. In fact, they had just eliminated Napoli in the second European competition. Prevention is better than cure, Alfredo Pérez, president of Racing, must have thought when signing the contract.

By last, The Blaugrana club will also have to make a transfer to El Sardinero of one million euros in the event that Torre makes his debut with the senior Spanish team. Until now, Pablo has played with the Sub-19, in which he has been the undisputed starter for Santi Denía. Unfortunately, the team led by the racinguista and the Athletic player Nico Serrano has not been able to qualify to play the category’s European Championship next summer in Slovakia.

With the elimination of the Sub-19, Pablo Torre’s last commitment this season will be quite soon, on June 3, in which he will serve one last service to the club of his life with the dispute of the 1st RFEF champions match, in which Racing will meet, with the category title at stake, the winner of Group II, since right now Andorra, Albacete and Villarreal B are competing. Xavi Hernández will receive the next preseason to a rested player after some holiday period more than reasonable.
