It's official. FC Barcelona has announced the transfer of Pau Víctor to Sporting Clube de Braga. The Azulgranas used their various communication channels to issue a brief statement about the operation:
"FC Barcelona and Sporting Clube de Braga have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Pau Víctor."
In turn, the Culé team did not skimp on words when saying goodbye to the forward, wishing him the best of luck in this new stage that he will begin in the team led by Carlos Vicens. The informative note adds:
"The Club wishes him the best of luck and success in the future, both personally and professionally."
Details of Pau Víctor's transfer: a profitable business for Barcelona
The negotiation, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, was closed for a fixed amount of €12M, plus another three in variables. A great move for the team from the Ciudad Condal, if you take into account that the player from Sant Cugat del Vallés arrived at the Catalan team for just €2.7M in the 2024/25 season.
- 📌 THE DATA: Girona will take 30% of the final transfer price, after having reserved a percentage of a future sale when Pau Víctor moved to FC Barcelona.
The transfer, which will lead Pau Víctor —who will wear the number 18— to sign a contract with the Portuguese team until June 30, 2030, was closed after completing the respective medical examination this Friday. This was the reason why the former Girona player did not join the Barcelona club's expedition that left for Japan to start the pre-season tour of Asia.
What was Pau Víctor's time like as an FC Barcelona player?
This is how Pau Víctor's adventure at FC Barcelona ends, after playing only the 2024/25 season with the first team under the orders of Hansi Flick. In that sense, the forward was only able to participate in a total of 29 matches, in which he managed to score a total of two goals and provide one assist. An adventure perhaps somewhat scarce in terms of minutes (379'), something that can be explained if one takes into account the notable competition in the offensive front of the Catalan team.
His greatest feat with the Culé jersey came during his time in the Azulgrana's reserve team, during the 2023/24 season, when he played on loan from Girona. In that season, he scored 20 goals and provided six assists in 39 matches, performance that catapulted him for the Catalan team to sign him permanently in the summer of 2024.
