FC Barcelona does not rule out Pau Víctor's departure in the upcoming winter market. Although, unlike Dani Olmo, his registration does not pose a major problem for the club's finances, the few minutes he has played this season seem to open the exit door for him, even though he is a player highly valued by Hansi Flick.
The '18' has barely accumulated 220 minutes of action spread over 17 matches, one as a starter. Despite his limited opportunities, he has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist, a record that is currently insufficient to be considered a substitute for Robert Lewandowski. Ferran Torres is, for now, the first alternative to the '9', while on the flanks are Dani Olmo and Fermín López (left), along with Raphinha and Ferran himself (right).

In this sense, like Ansu Fati, Víctor has found himself without a place in Flick's rotations and would already have a very tempting option to leave in January. The latest rumors indicate Real Betis's interest in negotiating for his loan until June, without an obligatory purchase option. The 'verdiblancos' already have Vitor Roque in their ranks, and Manuel Pellegrini aims to form a lethal duo that can finally solve the team's goal-scoring problems.
Another club that could go for the player from San Cugat del Vallés is Celta de Vigo. The Galicians tried to sign him last summer, but Barça managed to secure his transfer from Girona for 2.7 million euros, after his brilliant season with the reserve team (he scored 20 goals in 39 matches with Rafa Márquez's side). The 23-year-old forward had a great preseason with Barça, but ultimately the tough competition for a spot in attack has sidelined him from the culé plans.
