In recent years, it has been common to see the union between Barça and Betis to address various matters in the market. The relationship between both entities is good, and the trust is maximum, to the point of having worked on various multimillion-dollar agreements.
After the Vitor Roque situation, there are matters to negotiate on the table... and Pellegrini has taken advantage of his visit to Barcelona to bring up the name of Pau Víctor again.
Pau Víctor: Betis's target
Last season, Pau Víctor dazzled in Barça's reserve team, becoming the top scorer of Primera Federación. He was on loan, and the Catalan club decided to pay almost 3 million for him to keep him permanently.
Pau Víctor has played only 265 minutes so far this season with the 'seniors', spread over 22 matches. He has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist.
Betis are aware of what Pau Víctor can offer, and the interest is real and firm. In the negotiations to let Vitor Roque leave for Palmeiras, his name came into the equation. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that there was talk of a future for the Catalan forward heading to Andalusia, still to be defined.
In addition to giving an additional percentage of Abde's rights to unblock Roque's sale, Betis also secured a kind of preferential right at Barça. The young player chosen is Pau Víctor, aiming to take him next season to strengthen their attack. One possibility is that he leaves on loan, but if he is transferred, Joan Laporta's response is clear: "Available for 5 million".
Pau Víctor will stay in Spain
Whatever happens, the Catalan is clear that he wants to continue playing in LaLiga. He believes he has enough level to do well in the first division, and everything seems to indicate that he will leave Barça. Hansi Flick likes him as a player, but there is a lot of competition in the culer squad, and it is really difficult for him to get minutes.
Despite this, when he does get minutes, he usually performs well, something that is highly valued at Barça. Pau Víctor's situation is complicated because he is being treated unfairly, and Betis will try to give him a new destination.
There is nothing advanced by any means. Barcelona, however, would like to reserve a percentage of his rights and even have a buyback clause.
