Barça continues planning its squad for next season and, in addition to continuing negotiations for various signings, it has also started working on departures. One of the names on the table is Pau Víctor. Hansi Flick doesn't count on him and, after one campaign, the doors are open for him to leave Camp Nou.
At 23 years old, Pau Víctor is willing to leave and has attracted interest from half of Spain. He is coming off a complicated campaign, relegated to the bench after being the top scorer in Primera Federación. Wearing the first team's jersey, the Catalan has recorded 2 goals and 1 assist in 379 min. (379 minutes).
Villarreal go after Pau Víctor
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Villarreal has accelerated for the culer striker. In the last few hours, it has finalized Thierno Barry's departure to Everton for 35 million euros. Now it is looking for a new "9" and has set its sights on the blaugrana, trying to convince him at a low cost.
Although Villarreal wants him and he is willing to go there, the truth is that it is not the only club interested in Pau Víctor. Half of Spain wants him and they are negotiating directly with his entourage, with Barça opening the doors for him if the requirements it has set are met.
This is what Barça demands
What FC Barcelona is clear about is that it doesn't want to lose control over its striker. It doesn't accept a loan and wants to secure a transfer, demanding 5 million euros from all interested parties. But this is the price it asks for half of his rights, wanting to keep 50% of a future sale. In addition, it also wants to keep a buyback option in the coming years.
At 23 years old, Pau Víctor has established himself as one of the most promising attacking gems of FC Barcelona. The Catalan, who excelled with the blaugrana reserve team, stands out not only for his goal-scoring instinct... but also for his remarkable tactical intelligence and ability to adapt to different positions in the attacking front.
Although his natural position is center forward, Pau has clearly shown that he can perform at a high level on both wings as well. His mobility, vision, and reading of the game allow him to link up easily and create space both inside and outside. In addition, his ability to lose his marker and his finishing accuracy make him a modern striker, effective inside the box and involved in build-up play.
With Barça's playing model, Pau Víctor fits perfectly. He has good ball control, the ability to press after losing possession, and a competitive character that makes him stand out in key moments. His progression continues and he is already considered a real alternative for the first team. Now, he is set to leave, with Villarreal being the main club interested in his transfer.
