Barça Misses Out on Rubén Torres as He Joins Valencia

FC Barcelona arrives late for Rubén Torres, who heads to Valencia The Catalan club unsuccessfully attempted to sign the Mallorca youth player When Barcelona got into action, the center-back had already given his ‘OK’ to Valencia FC Barcelona will be left disappointed with Rubén Torres. The Blaugrana club made moves in recent days to try to secure the signing of the RCD Mallorca cadet player, but they were too late and won’t be able to acquire the services of the promising player, born in 2008.

Still in the cadet age group but already integrated into the dynamics of Mallorca’s Juvenil ‘B’ team, Torres had been attracting interest from several clubs with teams in La Liga, including Girona and Sevilla. However, the club that acted quickest for the center-back was Valencia, which presented a plan and a satisfactory proposal for the player, currently sidelined by the Balearic club, upset by the player’s decision to change clubs at the end of the season.

Shortly after Valencia secured Rubén Torres’ commitment, Barcelona emerged. The scouts of the Catalan club expressed their interest to the defender’s surroundings, who appreciated the gesture but emphasized that they had already committed to the team from the Turia capital. Torres will start the next season in the Juvenil ‘B’ setup, but the idea is that as the season progresses, he could also feature prominently with the Juvenil ‘A’ team.

Barça will not forget about him Thus, Barcelona arrives late in its attempt to secure the center-back, who in the last month and a half has not been able to enjoy playing time and will have to wait until the end of the season to feel like a footballer again, unless Mallorca reconsider their decision to leave him on the sidelines week after week. In any case, the Blaugrana club assures that they will keep an eye on the defender, who has shown very promising progression and could once again become a target in the medium term.
