90min reports on Barcelona's agreement with SC Braga for Pau Víctor's transfer. Barcelona have reached an agreement with SC Braga for Pau Víctor to join the Primeira Liga side. Braga will pay a fee of €12 million plus €3 million in add-ons. Barcelona is looking to include a buy-back clause.

Pau Victor, aged 23, is set to join SC Braga. The operation costs €12 million immediately to the coffers of SC Braga, with an additional €3 million possible based on performance objectives. He is expected to sign a contract for four or five seasons. Last season, he played 29 games with two goals and one assist for Barcelona's elite team. The news was initially reported by the Spanish press and confirmed by A BOLA.
Barcelona are willing to negotiate Pau Víctor's departure if a team offers north of €10 million for his permanent transfer. Multiple La Liga teams are interested in him. Barcelona's sporting director Deco has stated that they are not willing to let him go on loan.
Pau Victor is also being pushed towards the exit by Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick. Flick does not count on him for the upcoming season.
Pau Victor joined Barcelona last year from Girona in a transfer worth three million euros. Despite limited playing time, averaging less than 15 minutes per game, the 23-year-old forward played 21 matches in La Liga and scored two goals. The Spanish media reports that he might change clubs as Barcelona has set a price of 20 million euros for him.
Barcelona does not count on Pau Victor for the future and intends to sell him as part of their financial strategy. His registration was temporarily restored by the Higher Sports Council after being annulled by La Liga due to financial documentation issues.
Pau Víctor is part of FC Barcelona's internal list of players available for transfer. The club is considering offers, especially from Saudi Arabia, where clubs are willing to pay generously.
Pau Victor is expected to leave FC Barcelone this summer. The club prefers a loan move with a purchase option and a potential buy-back clause. Several teams from La Liga have expressed interest in the young Spanish forward.
Barcelona has successfully registered Pau Victor to continue playing until the end of the season, despite La Liga's initial opposition to the validity of his registration beyond December 31, 2024. The CSD, Consejo Superior del Deporte, ruled in favor of Barcelona, allowing him to remain registered. However, the club must validate the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou before June 30, or they will have to sell some players to comply with La Liga's financial regulations.
Barcelona re-signed Pau Victor under false pretences, according to LaLiga. His registration was part of a €100 million deal for VIP seals, which LaLiga has ruled is not accounted for in the club's financial submissions. This opens the door to potential further punishment for Barcelona.
Real Betis requested to have Pau Victor on loan with an option to buy for the next season, but Barcelona rejected the offer for now. The clubs plan to revisit this discussion in the summer.
FC Barcelona had requested a license for Pau Víctor Delgado, but La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) declined to grant either the preliminary visa or the final license. The refusal was based on RFEF's regulations, which, according to their interpretation, prevent a player whose license was canceled from obtaining a new one with the same team within the same season. Barcelona plans to appeal this decision to the Sports Administrative Court (CSD) or through the ordinary judicial system. The club aims to change the expired rule to regulate financial fair play with players registered until December 31, arguing that the deadline should be extended to the last day of the winter transfer window, February 2.
Pau Víctor's registration with Barcelona has been canceled by LaLiga and the RFEF due to economic control regulations. His registration was not completed in time, preventing him from being registered in the same season with Barcelona.
Barcelona is facing a financial crisis, which risks their ability to register Pau Victor for the current season. Although there are agreements in place to sell Camp Nou's VIP boxes to a Qatari fund for approximately 120 million euros, LaLiga has not approved the transaction due to insufficient financial guarantees. As of December 31, Barcelona has not provided alternatives that adhere to LaLiga's economic control regulations, which prevents player registration starting January 2. The Spanish Federation's response is still pending, but as things stand, both Dani Olmo and Pau Victor are not included in the Catalan squad.
Barcelona's request to register Pau Víctor with RFEF has been denied. The club tried to transfer its registration problem from LaLiga to RFEF, but RFEF, following the line set by its vice president Javier Tebas, will not grant the license. Barcelona must seek other alternatives.
Barcelona attempted to register Pau Víctor by selling VIP seats, but this plan has not been approved by LaLiga. This situation leaves Víctor's registration in jeopardy.
Barcelona failed to register Pau Victor as a player due to a judicial setback. Similar to Dani Olmo, Pau Victor is likely to become a free agent soon unless Barcelona finds an alternative solution by midnight tomorrow.
Pau Víctor, signed from Girona in July, is in the same situation as Dani Olmo regarding registration issues. The registration is set to expire, and Barcelona is working against time to ensure it is extended beyond December 31.
Pau Víctor's registration with Barcelona was rejected by the Mercantile Court number 10 of Barcelona. The decision was surprising, as a similar path was successfully taken for Gavi. Several clubs (Athletic, Sevilla, and Atletico Madrid) opposed Barcelona, and LaLiga adopted a different stance before the judge. Barcelona aimed to resolve the disputes regarding Víctor's provisional registration, valid until December 31, 2024. If unresolved, Víctor may be free on the market.
FC Barcelona needs to register Pau Victor in La Liga before December 31st. The club has appealed to the justice system to resolve the registration issue. They have a plan B to unlock funds if the appeal fails.
In the event that Barcelona's management does not swiftly address the situation, the club risks losing Pau Victor at no cost during the winter transfer window. Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta, reportedly has a strategy to possibly register the Spanish duo, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, for the remainder of the season. This strategy includes utilizing the salary margin made available by Ter Stegen's injury to facilitate the registration of both players. Furthermore, should this plan not succeed, Barcelona is contemplating the possibility of entering into a new lucrative contract with Nike to ensure compliance with 'fair play' regulations.
Barcelona aims to secure the registration of Pau Victor as part of their top priorities. Financial constraints required temporary deregistration maneuvers in the past, such as with Andreas Christensen.
Pau Víctor is not in Xavi's immediate plans, and the club believes he needs more playing time to develop. Barcelona is considering options such as a loan or a sale with a buy-back clause, as they have confidence in his potential and do not want to lose control over his career.
Pau Victor's contract cannot be registered due to FC Barcelona's financial issues.
