Pau Víctor Delgado (born 26 November 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for La Liga club Barcelona.

Club career

Girona

Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Víctor began his career with hometown side Junior Futbol Club,[1] and joined Girona's youth setup in 2018, from Sabadell.[2] On 20 July 2020, before even having appeared for the reserves, he made his professional debut coming on as a second-half substitute for Jairo Izquierdo in a 0–2 Segunda División away loss against Alcorcón.[3][4]

Víctor alternated between the first and reserve teams during the 2020–21 season, and scored his first senior goals on 13 December 2020, netting a brace in a 3–1 Tercera División home win over Grama.[5] In the 2021–22 campaign, he featured exclusively for the B's, being their top scorer with eight goals as they missed out promotion in the play-offs.

Loan to Sabadell

On 29 August 2022, Víctor and teammate Álex Sala were loaned out to Primera Federación side Sabadell for one year.[6] He scored seven goals and provided six assists to help the team to stay in the third tier.[7]

Loan to Barcelona Atlètic

On 17 August 2023, Víctor renewed his contract with Girona until 2025 and was loaned to Barcelona, being assigned to B-team Barcelona Atlètic also in the third division.[8] In October, he was called up to the main squad for a match against Granada,[9] and also featured on the bench in two Copa del Rey matches (against Barbastro and Unionistas de Salamanca).

With the B-team, Víctor was an ever-present figure and scored a career-best 20 goals, as they missed out promotion to Segunda División in the play-offs.[10]

Barcelona

On 24 July 2024, Víctor joined Barça permanently, signing a contract until 2029 and being included in the first team squad.[11] He made his club – and La Liga – debut on 17 August, replacing Lamine Yamal late into a 2–1 away win over Valencia.[12]

Personal life

Victor's younger brother Guillem is also a footballer. A right-back, he plays in the youth categories of Barcelona.[13]
