Barca Faces La Liga Probe Over Transfer Deal

Barcelona finds itself in a potential dispute with La Liga after Real Racing Club filed a formal complaint concerning a summer transfer. The issue centers on the sale of Pablo Torre to Mallorca for approximately €5 million, a deal that reportedly resulted in no profit for Barcelona.

Real Racing Club, who originally sold Torre to Barcelona in 2022 with a capital gains clause, claims the Catalan club acted in bad faith. They allege Barcelona intentionally set the transfer fee low to circumvent their obligation to pay Racing Club, thereby avoiding a profit-sharing agreement.

The Segunda division side believes Barcelona's actions were deliberately manipulative, pointing to a buy-back clause with Mallorca that suggested a higher valuation for Torre. This situation presents an unwelcome complication for Barcelona as the case moves forward.
