Frontman Víctor, for his part, has endured something of a difficult campaign to date in Catalunya's capital.
Owing to the fierce competition for places in Hansi Flick's frontline, the 23-year-old has largely struggled for game-time, to the tune of just two starts across all competitions.
At such a crucial point in his development as a player, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of Víctor eyeing a new challenge this summer.
As per a report from Sport, in fact:
'Pau Víctor has decided to leave Barcelona this summer.'
The board at the Camp Nou are not expected to stand in the way of the attacker, who boasts interest by way of a whole host of clubs across Spain and beyond.
It is also noted, though, that Deco and co. would like to keep control of Víctor's future, by way of a buyback clause in any sale.

Barcelona President to request bank guarantee from board due to shortfalls
Barcelona President Joan Laporta has been adamant about the strong financial management under his tenure, claiming that they have taken the club out of intensive care. However the struggle to make the club profitable continues to elude him and his board. As a result, Barcelona have been facing more registration problems with the men's first team, but more recently, their wide array of teams in other sports have fallen on hard times. Despite being perennial winners, Barcelona Femeni currently only have 18 players registered, and recently let go of Jana Fernandez to improve their finances. Basket Laporta to request bank guarantee from board members According to Marca, Laporta will request a bank guarantee of €7m from his board members to cover the shortfall. The reason being that their costs have been excessive in terms of their salaries and staff costs, especially when looked at in the context of their salary limit. The board will hold an extraordinary meeting today. Image via FC Barcelona The bank guarantee allows Barcelona to dip into the club accounts temporarily for a set amount in order to fund operations, but the money must then be made up before the end of their mandate. If it is not, then the board themselves are liable for the money personally. RAC1 (via Sport) say there is a certain reluctance from other board members to agree to this, as it is the final year of Laporta's tenure before elections, giving them less time to resolve the matter, and increasing the risk that the board may be liable for the money personally. Barcelona could use bank guarantee to register new signings Barcelona hope to register new signings for their men's first team, Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, and have tried to activate the injury rule in order to register the former. However amid doubts over whether that will go through without any issues, the option of a bank guarantee in order to register Garcia and Rashford is on the table too. What is happening with Barcelona's €100m VIP seats lease? The Catalan daily explain that they now have their accounts back from auditors Crowe, although they do not mention whether the €100m VIP seats lease has been added back into their balance sheet. The Blaugrana activated the VIP seats for the first time during the Joan Gamper trophy against Como on Sunday, and need both Crowe and then La Liga to accept the measure in order to get the money added back into their salary limit calculations. They are working with La Liga to validate their updated accounts.

Barcelona hopeful of finalising agreement with key defender until 2030 before transfer window ends
Barcelona are working to finalise a new contract for Eric Garcia, aiming to tie him down until 2029 or 2030 before the summer transfer window closes, claims a report from SPORT. It is to be noted that the 24-year-old has become an important figure in Hansi Flick's plans, even more so following Inigo Martinez's surprise move to Saudi Arabia earlier this month. Flick has shown strong faith in Garcia, starting him at right-back ahead of Jules Kounde during the Joan Gamper Trophy. The Barcelona coach sees him as the squad's ultimate utility player this season, capable of filling multiple roles. It is said that club officials had indicated during the pre-season tour that a renewal was virtually agreed and would be signed upon Garcia's return from Korea. However, the deal is not yet complete, with the hope that both sides can reach an agreement before the transfer window shuts. Hansi Flick blocks exit and backs renewal Garcia's current deal runs until 2026, but Flick has personally requested an extension, having already stopped his departure in January. Barcelona want to extend Eric Garcia's contract. (Photo by) The plan is to secure his long-term future alongside fellow defender Andreas Christensen, whose contract is also due to expire in a year. Talks between Barça and Garcia's representatives have been progressing since early August. However, the final meeting to seal the agreement has been delayed due to scheduling issues. Sporting director Deco, currently in Brazil for personal reasons, has paused several pending matters, including Garcia's contract. Garcia remains patient, awaiting the decisive talks that will confirm his future. He is not the only player waiting, as Oriol Romeu is also expecting discussions over a contract termination, while Jules Kounde is due to sign his updated terms once Deco returns. For now, Barcelona's aim is to secure Garcia's services for the long term and for that, everything seems to be on track.

Athletic Club star slams Barcelona vs Villarreal match in Miami – ‘Lack of respect for the fans'
Athletic Club goalkeeper Unai Simon has made his stance clear regarding the decision to host the La Liga clash between Villarreal and Barcelona in the United States. The match, scheduled for 20 December at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, has already sparked heavy debate within Spanish football. Real Madrid were the first to voice their opposition after the Spanish federation approved the game being moved abroad. Their official statement was strong, warning of 'all kinds of measures to prevent the competition from being adulterated.' Now, one of Athletic's most respected figures has joined the criticism, even as his club maintains an official silence on the matter. Defending the fans When asked for his opinion, Simon did not mince words. 'It's a lack of respect for the fans. It's something that would seem wrong to me at Athletic and at any other club,' he said, making it clear that his loyalty lies with the supporters. STUTTGART, GERMANY – JUNE 05: Unai Simon of Spain reacts during the UEFA Nations League 2025 semifinal match between Spain and France at Stuttgart Arena on June 05, 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany. (Photo by) Simon spoke passionately about the role of supporters, stressing that football belongs to them as much as to the players. 'Football is not only part of the members and fans, but it is the people who have brought us to where we are. If it weren't for them, football wouldn't exist,' he stated. Villarreal president Juan Roig has promised to cover the travel expenses for fans who want to make the trip to Miami, but Simon believes this misses the bigger point. 'If it were Athletic's turn to go to Miami, I don't see it. Although in the end the club pays for the trip and the ticket, there are many fans who cannot make that trip. 'For them, it is a lost day, a day that they are left without seeing their players live,' he argued. Simon also shared his thoughts on teammate Nico Williams, whose summer was marked by failed negotiations with Barcelona before committing his future to Athletic. 'At Athletic, you can also be a top world player. Beyond staying after renewing, when you prioritise Athletic over other top clubs, it means that the sporting project we have at the club and the impact it has is spoken of very well,' he said.
