Real Betis has started to make moves in the transfer market to strengthen their squad intelligently. The sports management of the Andalusian side is looking for young talents with potential who haven't had their chance at big clubs. This time, they've set their sights on a specific profile from FC Barcelona.
This is a player who has been part of the first team, although he has barely had any real prominence. His development has been steady in the shadows, always with a professional attitude, but without space to shine. This situation has sparked the interest of Pellegrini's team, who want to seize the opportunity.

Barça hasn't given him minutes and Betis sees a golden opportunity
Throughout this season, the footballer has been one of the most overlooked in the official drafts of the culé club. Although he has trained daily with the best, he hasn't received the necessary trust to show his talent on the field. Flick has prioritized other more established profiles and hasn't given him a real chance.
This lack of minutes has caused concern in his circle, who are beginning to see the need to leave clearly. Not due to a lack of level, but simply because of structural blockage within the first team. Barça has a large and competitive squad, which has hindered the growth of some young players like him.

At Betis, they firmly believe in giving opportunities to players with a competitive DNA and medium-term projection. From the technical area, they consider it's better to bet on ambitious loanees than on signings without hunger. That's why they've started informal talks to gauge his availability and contractual situation.
The plan is clear: a one-season loan with an affordable purchase option if his performance is high. Betis wants to guarantee minutes and continuity so the player can loosen up and grow without excessive pressure. In Heliópolis, they offer him an ideal context to thrive.

A loan that could be beneficial for all parties
For Barça, this operation makes a lot of sense from both an economic and sporting perspective. On one hand, it frees up salary space and gives room to other more established talents within the structure. On the other, it allows one of their prospects to gain experience without immediately giving up his federative rights.
Moreover, if the footballer responds with a good level at Betis, they could always bring him back in the near future. These types of agreements allow them to keep control and give the player time to grow away from the media spotlight of Camp Nou. It's a common strategy at big clubs that manage a large youth system.
Betis's coaching staff has analyzed his profile and believes he fits perfectly into the verdiblanco playing system. He has good mobility, vision in the final third, and an interesting associative ability for quick transitions. He's not an immediate bet, but he is an asset that could bear fruit soon.
Furthermore, the player's circle has viewed the Seville proposal favorably for several reasons. They guarantee him minutes, a stable locker room, and high-level teammates like Isco or Fornals from whom he can learn. The option to keep growing without so much pressure also adds to his decision.

An exit without noise, but with high expectations for the future
Unlike other more high-profile exits, this is seen as a logical step in his professional development. There are no breakups or controversies, just the need to move forward in an environment that values him. Both Barça and the player agree on seeking a satisfactory solution for everyone.
At this moment, all that's left is to finalize the last details between both clubs so the loan can be formalized. Betis hopes to have him available to start preseason and test his fit in the team. If everything goes as planned, he could become one of the surprises of the summer.

The player whom Betis wants to give a new opportunity to is none other than Pau Víctor. The striker, who this season has been linked to Barça Atlètic, is ready to make the definitive leap. In Heliópolis, they believe he can surprise many in LaLiga.
