Barcelona's La Masia striker Pau Victor is set to leave the club soon, and is expected to move to Portugal to sign a full contract with Braga soon.

According to some press reports, most notably from The Athletic, the player's current market value is €12 million, as determined by Barcelona for those who want to sign him, plus an additional €3 million in variables.

The player's name has been linked to several clubs.

The young Barcelona defender has made his decision, opting for a move to Portuguese side Braga despite interest from Valencia. The 23-year-old, who previously expressed his desire to remain at Camp Nou, ultimately recognized the need for regular minutes after a frustrating season with just two La Liga starts under Hansi Flick.

This transfer serves dual purposes - providing Victor with the playing opportunities he craves while helping Barcelona's precarious financial situation. The Catalan club continues its summer clearout, with Victor joining a growing list of departures that includes Pablo Torre, Ansu Fati, Clement Lenglet, and Alex Valle.

While Valencia had explored a loan arrangement, Victor's preference for Braga suggests the Portuguese club offered a more compelling sporting project. The move represents a fresh start for the defender, who now faces the challenge of reigniting his career away from Barcelona's spotlight.

As Barcelona prioritizes player sales to accommodate new arrivals, Victor's exit follows a familiar pattern of young talents seeking opportunities elsewhere after struggling to break through at the demanding Catalan club.
