Barça has done its homework on the pitch, becoming the highest-scoring team in Europe with more than 100 goals in La Liga and winning three titles: the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey, and LaLiga, beating its eternal rival Real Madrid in all three competitions. With the work done on the pitch, it’s time to roll up our sleeves in the office.
Deco’s priority is to keep the team together after its great performance this season, which is why several renewals have already been finalized, such as those of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, and work is underway to move forward with others, such as Frenkie De Jong, Szczesny, Casadó, and Eric García. In addition to the renewals, the club is looking to sign a left winger, with Luis Díaz and Rashford as priority targets in the league, while also working on a number of departures, notably Ansu Fati, who is set to join Monaco with the final details of the deal being finalized; Iñaki Peña, who has had a difficult season and the club will facilitate his departure; and Pablo Torre, who is not getting much playing time and is wanted at a club where he will have more opportunities. In the same situation is 23-year-old Pau Víctor, who has not had opportunities due to competition for his position from Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Fermín, and Dani Olmo.
Pau Víctor talks about his future
In recent statements, Pau Víctor himself was ambitious about the playing time he wants in the future, which would take him away from Barcelona. “Players are ambitious, we always want more. I haven’t thought about the future yet, we have a very important game in Bilbao, which we want to win. Then we’ll talk to the club and come to the decision we have to come to. But we haven’t thought about anything yet and I’m very focused on the present,” Pau Víctor said about his future at the club.
He also spoke about his future after the match against Catalonia and hinted at the same idea. “I’ve always said that I’ve been a Barça fan since I was a kid and I’m living a dream, but players are also ambitious and have to look out for themselves.” Uncertainty and more uncertainty. “I don’t know what will happen, I wouldn’t know what to decide today. We have to talk things through and see what’s best for both sides.”
The striker is attracting a lot of interest in the transfer market
According to information from the German newspaper SPORT, Bayer Leverkusen is closely monitoring the young striker’s situation given the uncertainty surrounding his future.
In addition, Relevo reports that the Catalan striker is very close to becoming Valencia’s first signing for next season. It is also noted that Real Betis, who already wanted him in the summer, Celta, Sevilla, and Mallorca are interested, and his salary could be affordable in some cases.
The idea of both the club and the player is to go where he will get more playing time, as the idea is for him to leave for a year to gain experience and then return to Can Barça, which needs a successor for Robert Lewandowski in the future. That is why Barça is prioritizing a loan with an option to buy or a sale with a buy-back option, similar to what Real Madrid has done with Nico Paz.
