Barcelona is strategically positioning themselves to exercise their option to purchase Pau Victor from Girona for €3 million, a decision spurred by his remarkable performance with the reserve team throughout the season.
According to a report from AS, the club is keenly aware of the young talent’s stellar contributions while on loan, prompting them to move swiftly in securing his permanent acquisition.
At the age of 22, Pau Victor is undeniably strengthening his appeal for Barcelona to make a significant investment in him this summer by activating his €3 million permanent purchase clause. Despite being under contract with Girona until 2025, his exceptional displays throughout the season, particularly under the mentorship of Rafa Marquez while donning Barcelona’s B team jersey, are making a compelling argument for the Catalan giants to secure his services for the long term.
Is he really needed at Campnou ?
Pau Victor’s remarkable performance speaks volumes, as he currently sits atop the scoring charts in Primera RFEF with an impressive tally of 17 goals. Such stellar achievements have not gone unnoticed, with numerous clubs from both the Segunda and Primera divisions expressing interest in his services.
Barcelona, recognizing his exceptional talent and immense potential, view him as a valuable asset worth investing in. The club is poised to make a concerted effort to secure his signature, recognizing the immense value he could bring to their squad.
It’s important to mention that Girona had wanted to keep Pau Victor last summer. However, because they already had many players on their team and their B team competes in the Third RFEF, they decided to loan him out instead.
Barcelona B gladly accepted Pau Victor, seeing his talent and potential. While he’s been getting good feedback and praise at Barcelona, people at Girona are starting to feel like they missed out on a great opportunity by letting him go.
Not getting play time
Throughout this season, the promising young forward has received first-team call-ups for key league fixtures against Granada (in both the first and second rounds) and Alaves. Despite being included in the squad for these crucial matches, he was unfortunately unable to secure any playing time on the pitch.
Beyond his football commitments, Victor is actively pursuing a postgraduate degree in Sports Management at the prestigious Johann Cruyff Institute. Despite the demands of his academic pursuits, his primary focus remains on his daily endeavors with the reserve team. Presently, they are engaged in an intense battle with Deportivo de la Coruna, currently leading the standings in Group 1 of the Primera RFEF.
