Barcelona forward Pau Victor is planning to assess his situation at the end of the season with a crucial meeting set to take place between the 23-year-old’s representatives and the club’s officials, reports SPORT.
The young striker has had limited opportunities this season, amassing just 280 minutes across all competitions, contributing two goals and one assist.
Despite the limited playing time, though, Victor remains committed to the team, but his future at Barcelona could hinge on the discussions with the club’s management.
Rare opportunities
The player, who has been somewhat sidelined under manager Hansi Flick, is aware that the coach prefers to rely on more experienced members of the squad.
Nevertheless, Victor has always been ready to contribute when called upon, as demonstrated in his recent 15-minute cameo against Mallorca.
While his role this season has not been as prominent as he would have hoped, the forward’s attitude and professionalism have never been questioned.
Barcelona does not want him to leave
Interestingly, despite the lack of minutes, Barcelona’s sporting management has no intention of letting him leave, as the club values him for several reasons, including his affordability.
As one of the most economical players in the squad, Victor’s salary remains within the club’s financial plans. Furthermore, Hansi Flick views him as a useful resource, even if he has not featured regularly in the starting XI.
While he has expressed a desire for a more prominent role at the club, he is aware that any decision regarding his future will depend on both his own ambitions and the club’s plans.
He wants to continue
It must be noted that his contract runs until 2029, and he is keen on continuing at Barcelona. However, he hopes for more playing time, and he is prepared to evaluate his options based on the club’s strategy moving forward.
With Barcelona likely to focus on strengthening their defence next season rather than acquiring a new striker, his future could be influenced by potential departures and changes within the squad.
However, the club is not expected to make it easy for any potential suitors, as Victor remains a valued asset, both for his on-pitch contributions and his financial efficiency.
