FC Barcelona are on the verge of finalising the transfer of Pau Victor to SC Braga for €12 million plus €3 million in add-ons.

As reported already, there is an agreement between the two clubs, and the 23-year-old forward has also agreed personal terms with the Portuguese club.

Now, according to SPORT, Pau Victor is already in Portugal undergoing his medical, and all contracts tying him to Braga for the next five seasons are expected to be signed today.

The deal could be made official in the coming hours or over the weekend, with plans for the player to begin training with his new teammates immediately.

Barcelona excluded Victor from the squad for the Asia tour due to the advanced state of negotiations. The deal had been taking shape since last week and took a decisive step forward when the player agreed to a long-term move to the Portuguese league.

The former Girona attacker was attracted by the sporting project of a club known for developing talent, and where he will have the chance to be the undisputed starting striker.

Barcelona had received several offers for Victor, but most Spanish clubs were only interested in a loan with an option to buy.

The Catalans had initially been willing to sell 50% of the player’s rights for €6 million until SC Braga, advised by Jorge Mendes, submitted a strong offer.

On Wednesday, the two clubs reached a preliminary agreement over a deal worth €15 million in total. 30% of the transfer fee will go to Girona.

This will be one of Barcelona’s most notable sales of the summer and will help increase the club’s salary cap, freeing up around €2.8 million.
