Betis does not rule out asking Barça for the loan of one of its forwards in January

If there is a specific area where FC Barcelona does not usually rotate too much, it is in the center forward position. This is because Robert Lewandowski, who is having a stellar season in terms of scoring, has netted 23 goals so far in the 2024-25 campaign, displaying impeccable physical form and high productivity, leaving little room for Hansi Flick to replace him.

The relative 'immobility' of Robert Lewandowski is creating some uncertainty regarding the players looking to strengthen that position, such as Pau Víctor, a 23-year-old center forward who has been considered as an option for the '9' role but has not been able to develop his game as much as he would like in the Barcelona shirt.

These are not just words, as the native of Sant Cugat del Vallès has only played 17 matches, accumulating a mere 220 minutes on the field and only one start (against CA Osasuna), with an average of just 12 minutes per game. Nevertheless, Pau Víctor has shown his worth as a goal scorer on two occasions (against CA Osasuna and RCD Mallorca) and provided an assist.

It would not be surprising if the former Girona player, who seems to be behind Ferran Torres in the pecking order to reinforce the attack, is considering leaving Barcelona in the winter transfer window to fully develop his game. This option could also be under consideration by Barça.

The LaLiga team interested in requesting a loan for Pau Víctor from Barcelona

As reported by 'SPORT', although Pau Víctor is content at the club and valued as a game-changer by the team, there is an issue that could influence Pau Víctor's stay with the Blaugrana: his registration. If this situation becomes too complicated, Barcelona may consider loaning him out to avoid resolving this issue.

In this section, as revealed by the mentioned source, there is already a club considering this move, aware of Pau Víctor's situation: Real Betis. Upon reviewing the issue of the forward's registration, the interest of the Andalusian team has been piqued to secure his services, at least for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

The only way this negotiation could materialize

However, it is evident that the deal for this versatile forward, capable of playing as a '9', attacking midfielder, and left winger, also presents certain complications and would only go through if the player desires it, something that does not seem likely at the moment.

Nevertheless, given the relationship between the two clubs and if Pau Víctor is enticed by the sporting project and the opportunity for more minutes at Real Betis, a potential negotiation could occur, a scenario that cannot be ruled out.
