Barcelona secured a notable 5-1 victory over Sevilla in the tenth round of La Liga, allowing them to remain at the top of the table.
Coach Hansi Flick has indicated that several Barcelona players facing uncertain futures must accept secondary roles if they choose to stay. According to El Nacional, Flick has made a definitive decision regarding one star player who is expected to leave in the upcoming January transfer window, a conclusion reinforced by the recent match against Sevilla.
The player in question is Pau Victor, who started the season with high hopes after impressing during preseason and being included by Joan Laporta and Deco. Despite receiving offers from clubs like Getafe, Leganes, Rayo Vallecano, Valladolid, and Valencia, Pau Victor decided to stay at Camp Nou after scoring against teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid in friendlies.
Pau Victor’s role as the main backup for Robert Lewandowski has been tough, and his performance has not met expectations, as shown by his statistics. This has led Flick to consider letting him go.
So far this season, Pau Victor has scored one goal and provided one assist, but Flick is not entirely satisfied with his contributions. As a result, he has allowed the player to seek a new team, either in the upcoming winter transfer window or by June at the latest.
Flick has also cautioned Pau Victor that if he stays until the end of the year, his playing time will be minimal. Fortunately for him, several clubs are still interested in signing him due to his strong performances in the United States. Thus, if he decides to leave, he will have plenty of options in Spain and across Europe.
