A talented Barcelona forward, sidelined by limited playing time, is set to leave the club this summer in pursuit of a starring role elsewhere.
The 23-year-old forward, who has only played a total of 362 minutes over 29 appearances for the season, has not been able to find himself in a permanent position in a squad with attacking talents such as Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres, despite his attempts to get on the field.
Due to the lack of opportunity for playing time, the player now believes it is necessary that he find a new club where he can assuredly get onto the pitch regularly and develop his game properly, as per Diario Sport.
The player in question is Pau Victor, who signed with Barcelona last summer from Girona permanently for €2.5 million.
From a promising pre-season in August, Pau Victor has seen little action in the first team since, with only 2 starts and 2 goals to show for it over the entire season.
From a report, it seems he has made up his mind to officially leave in the summer now that the January transfer window has passed and Barcelona is open to a transfer, whether that be permanent or loan, likely with a buyback option to keep options open for Barcelona in the future.
Victor is a professional, and we have a lot of respect for him, but his ambitions for more minutes have made him choose to pursue a new opportunity. We have a meeting at the end of the season to finalize his future.
Interest in Victor is increasing, with clubs in La Liga, including Sevilla, Real Betis, and Valencia, all interested in him.
Bayer Leverkusen, the champions of the Bundesliga, have also expressed an interest in him.
With a market value of €5 million and a contract until 2029, FCB would make a small percentage, while giving Victor a chance to grow.
As the transfer window approaches, it makes sense for both the player and the club. FCB has an abundance of depth at forward, while Victor has the ambition for more playing time.
