There are some players who don’t fully understand their role within Barcelona and are unhappy with the minutes they are currently getting, such as Pau Victor.
This player was one of the standout discoveries during pre-season, as he surprised everyone with his level of performance. He showed exceptional abilities and managed to score in most of the friendly matches, even against strong teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Pau has proven that he is ready to support the first team and has become an interesting alternative in the attacking line. He justified the three million euros that Joan Laporta and Deco paid for him with his impressive season with the reserve team. He scored many goals, becoming the top scorer in the Spanish League, and played a key role in pushing the team to an advanced stage in the promotion race to the Spanish Hypermotion League, although they lost in the play-off final to Córdoba.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, in the summer, Pau Victor received several loan offers from La Liga clubs, but coach Hansi Flick convinced him to stay at Camp Nou, promising him playing time and opportunities to establish himself as a key player in the squad. However, after several months, it can be said that his role remains limited, as he only plays as a substitute and in times of extreme need, despite performing efficiently whenever given the chance.
The statistics speak for themselves: he has started just one match and is among the players with the least playing time at Barcelona, having played only 193 minutes in 14 appearances. Yet, he has managed to score two goals and provide one assist. This situation has left Pau feeling dissatisfied, as he feels he has been deceived by Flick, which has led him to consider leaving.
Pau doesn’t feel it’s fair that he is the last option in the squad, especially given the presence of players such as Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, who have not performed better than him to earn a spot in the starting lineup.
If things don’t change radically and Flick fails to fulfill his promise of giving Pau more opportunities, the player has already decided to seek a new adventure next January.
