As many young players experienced a delay in first-team opportunities, FC Barcelona staggered 2024/25 season under Hansi Flick has offered learning opportunities, panels, and fresh starts in football.
In contrast, one player feels left out after only being able to play a few minutes in the last two months.
He is still appreciated, but is not being played enough to feel growth in his football.
He played a few below “instant” matches and feels repeat minutes are more valuable to his career at this time, even if it is with a team other than FC Barcelona.
Recently, Diario Sport reported that Pau Victor has decided to look for an exit from FC Barcelona in the summer to have a bigger role in his football club.
The contract left on his deal entitles the club to keep the player, as they highly value the attacking forward’s career, but he has loftier ambitions than where he is currently.
Although he is still signed until 2029, the relentless ambitions of the 23-year-old cannot be ignored.
Victor is currently older than most of the U19 stars coming through FC Barcelona, but younger than most of the veterans on the FC Barcelona first-team squad, leading to an interesting representation of both generational gaps right now.
His off-field behaviour has gained him respect, as of late, in Barcelona.
On the field, he has matured and become ‘one of the boys’ along with having positive connections in the dressing room, off the pitch.
Although he is relatively cheap, his development as a real option, even if not a starter.
Flick views him decided would only open the door as a cheap presence.
Barcelona is amenable to Victor’s exit, but ideally, they would prefer a loan or a sale with a buy-back option for future control.
Multiple La Liga clubs have already engaged with Victor, all recognizing the Champions League pedigree of his experience at Barcelona, and believe he can play at the same level.
As Barcelona moves toward winning the La Liga title, Victor’s imminent exit adds complexity and intrigue to their squad planning, with his next destination foreshadowing his promising career trajectory.
