Barcelona beat Real Madrid to Pablo Torre deal

Barcelona have signed Pablo Torre from Racing Santander, the LaLiga club announced on Friday after beating Real Madrid to field the talented youngster.

Toure is seen as a potential future star but will initially play for the club's reserve team Barcelona B this summer before challenging for a first-team spot in the medium term.

Barcelona said the transfer fee was €5m, with the amount potentially reaching €20m on a variable basis.

The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is now signed with Blaugrana with a €100 million release clause until June 2026. Tea

Several top teams were eyeing Toure, including Madrid, who is acting this season for racing, but Barca moved on Friday to end talks.

The Spain Under-19 international has scored six goals in 21 matches - 18 of them starts - for racing to help him top his group in the Primera RFEF, the third tier of Spanish football.

Barca have made a habit of prioritizing emerging Spanish talent, signing Pedri from Las Palmas in 2019 and promoting youngsters from the academy like Gavi and Nico in the first team.
