Racing Santander Files La Liga Complaint Over Barcelona’s Pablo Torre Sale

The Segunda club says the €5 million fee was structured to deny it sell-on revenues expected under the 2022 agreement.

Overview

Club president Manolo Higuera told shareholders that Racing has formally asked La Liga to rule on what it calls a bad-faith operation by Barcelona.
Barcelona transferred Torre to Mallorca in July for roughly €4.95–€5 million, a figure that mirrors the fixed fee paid to Racing in 2022 and produced no capital gain.
Racing argues a reported buy-back clause reflects a higher valuation and should factor into calculating profit, a stance Barcelona sources dispute in favor of the recorded sale price.
The Mallorca deal reportedly includes a 50% sell-on right for Barcelona, and defenders of the price point to Transfermarkt’s €5 million valuation as evidence of market value.
Only one variable from the 2022 agreement is said to have been triggered—a €1 million payment after 10 appearances of at least 45 minutes—and the case remains under review.
