Barcelona have committed to Pau Victor by offering the young Spanish striker a five-year contract.

The club see Victor as a potential first-choice striker at Barcelona with Robert Lewandowski entering the twilight of his career.

Here’s Pau Victor with Barca president Laporta

Barca are backing Victor while Brazilian number 9 Vitor Roque prepares to pack up and leave the club.

Roque arrived for big money in December 2023 but he’s now set to go on loan to Real Betis.

Roque’s immediate replacement is Victor who finished preseason as Barca’s topscorer with three goals.

Last season Victor scored 20 goals to fire Barca Atletic to the Segunda promotion play-off where they lost out to Cordoba.
