Pau Victor credits Barcelona captain for helping him secure Braga move – ‘I always listen to his advice'
Pau Víctor has officially completed his move to Portuguese side SC Braga this summer, in a deal worth €12 million plus an additional €3 million in performance-based add-ons. The young forward has already been presented by the club and shared his excitement about the transfer, as well as the advice he received from a familiar face, namely, Barcelona winger Raphinha. The former Barça talent revealed that Raphinha played a big part in helping him decide on the move. 'He played here for a rival team, Vitoria de Guimaraes, so I won't pay much attention to him,' Pau joked, before getting serious. 'The truth is, Raphinha advised me to leave. He told me about how strong the league is becoming and how big Braga is as a club.' Raphinha's experience in Portugal Raphinha, who spent a year in the reserves and three more seasons in the senior team of Vitoria Guimaraes before moving on to Sporting CP, has first-hand experience in Portuguese football. His recommendation carried a lot of weight for Pau Victor. 'Raphinha told me the league is growing quickly and that many top players are emerging from here. I always listen to his advice,' the striker added. Pau Victor also spoke about the pride he feels in joining a club like Braga, which has shown real faith in his abilities. 'It's an important step in my career. I'm joining a club with clear ambitions, and I believe this is the perfect place for me to grow as a player,' he said. He is determined to make the most of this opportunity by proving himself on the pitch and rewarding the club's trust. With more minutes likely to come his way, Pau Victor is set to begin a new chapter in his journey, ready to develop and help Braga meet their goals.

Barcelona star sends farewell message to club's fans
A departing member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has bid a fond farewell to all in Catalunya's capital. The player in question? Pau Víctor. Frontman Víctor is for his part of course fresh off seeing his departure from Barcelona made official. Following a quickfire round of talks with Portuguese outfit SC Braga, the Camp Nou brass sanctioned a deal for the 23-year-old to depart on a permanent basis this weekend. As much brings to an end what was a short-lived stint for Víctor on Barcelona's books, spread between the club's reserve outfit, and first-team. Evidently, though, across this time, the Blaugrana made a deep impact on the versatile attacker from a personal standpoint. This comes with Víctor having taken to his official social media accounts, to bid a heartfelt farewell to the Spanish champions: 'Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true. First with Barça Atlètic, then with the first team… but always with the same feeling: that of a kid who grew up dreaming of wearing this shirt. Defending this badge has been an immense honor, both at the Johan and at Montjuïc, always with the pride of being part of a unique club. Because Barça is not just a club. It's a feeling that fills you, transforms you, and makes you better. Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, club staff, and fans who have accompanied me on this journey. I take with me friendships, values, lessons, and memories that I'll carry with me forever. Now I head toward new challenges, with my head held high and my heart full. With the same passion, the same commitment, and the eternal pride of having defended these colors, and a dream lived that will accompany me wherever I go. With all my gratitude, Forever a Culer.'
