When the 2024–25 season saw Pau Victor make just one La Liga start for Barcelona, questions arose about his future at the club. Despite limited game time, Victor has remained professional and is open to staying—provided he gets more chances on the field. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco are reportedly eager to keep the striker for another year.
Their interest is driven partly by financial reasons, as Victor is one of the lowest-paid players in the squad, and the club does not plan to buy a new striker until 2026. With Robert Lewandowski in form and expected to stay another season, Barca sees Victor as a valuable depth option. A crucial meeting between the player and the club is scheduled at the end of the season to decide his fate.
While the 22-year-old forward has not had many opportunities, his attitude and potential make him a candidate for more minutes next season, especially as the club navigates budget constraints and squad planning. Victor's willingness to be patient could benefit both parties, giving Barcelona a reliable, low-cost backup while allowing the young striker to continue developing at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
