La Liga side Valencia CF have expressed serious interest in signing young forward Pau Víctor, but their intention to secure the player on a loan deal has been firmly rejected by FC Barcelona, who are only open to a permanent transfer.
According to sources close to the negotiation, Barcelona have set a clear asking price of €10 million for the 22-year-old, who has been attracting attention following his standout performances with Barça Atlètic and impressive preseason appearances under new head coach Hansi Flick.Valencia, looking to bolster their attacking depth ahead of the 2025/26 season, view Pau Víctor as a low-risk, high-upside addition—but Barça’s stance signals a shift in policy, as the club looks to streamline its squad and generate funds for ongoing transfer activity.
Club officials have reportedly communicated that while they appreciate the interest from Valencia, they are not willing to entertain any loan proposals, preferring to part ways permanently if the right offer arrives. Pau Víctor, meanwhile, is said to be open to a move that guarantees regular first-team football.With multiple clubs across Spain and abroad monitoring the situation, it remains to be seen whether Valencia will return with a permanent bid or if another suitor will step up to meet Barça’s €10M valuation.
Negotiations are still in the early stages, but Barcelona’s message is clear: it’s buy now or miss out
