In Barcelona, they are clear that they must let players leave before bringing new ones in. The Azulgrana will have a busy summer in which they want to finalize several departures of players who are seeking more playing time and are not in Hansi Flick’s plans.
These departures are necessary to make room in the salary cap for signings such as Joan García or the arrival of the much-coveted left winger. Players such as Ansu Fati, Iñaki Peña, Pablo Torre, and Pau Víctor have the door open for them. The latter was the star of the last transfer window due to his registration, which, along with that of Dani Olmo, came as a precautionary measure from the CSD.
This season, the young forward has played in 21 league games, specifically 307 minutes, in which he has scored two goals and provided one assist. In addition, he has also played 49 minutes in six Champions League games and just 23 in two Copa del Rey games. This limited participation has led him to demand a greater role, which it seems he will only achieve if he leaves Camp Nou.
Pau Víctor talks about his future
Pau Víctor was ambitious about the minutes he wants to play in the future in a recent interview. A search for minutes that could take him away from Barcelona, where competition is fierce and the club is also looking to strengthen its attack. “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 game with the Catalan national team 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.” “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,” he added, making it clear that everything is up in the air.
Girona wants him back
The player has a chance to leave Barcelona, but he may not go very far. In recent hours, Girona CF’s interest in the player has been made public. The club managed by Míchel Sánchez is where the striker trained. Pau Víctor is considering a loan or a permanent transfer to have more continuity.
The Azulgrana club has not lost faith in the player’s talent and wants to retain some control over his future with a loan or a transfer with an option to buy. Girona is one of the clubs in the running, but not the only one.
In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly monitoring the young striker’s situation closely. In addition, according to Relevo, the Catalan striker is very close to becoming Valencia’s first signing for next season. It is also reported 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.
