"Although Barcelona weren't too keen on offloading Virgili, the club's hands were tied, and the youngster eventually joined Mallorca in a €3.5 million deal. Since then, the young attacker has established himself quite well, notably registering an assist in three league matches. The youngster has clearly shown he has the maturity to play at the highest level and is poised to make a big breakthrough in La Liga this season."
"But knowing Mallorca were not in a position to pay such an amount, Deco sensed an opportunity to add a buyback clause in the deal. Sure enough, Mallorca were only offering half the amount initially, which eventually rose to €3.5 million. In exchange, Barcelona were able to retain half the player's transfer rights. This could come in supremely handy in the future as it will essentially allow Barcelona to re-sign Virgili for only half the price."
Jan Virgili left Barcelona's academy seeking more first-team opportunities and completed a €3.5 million move to Mallorca. He has made an early impact, recording an assist across three league matches and demonstrating the maturity to compete at La Liga level. Barcelona negotiated a deal that included a buyback clause and retention of 50% of Virgili's transfer rights. Mallorca initially offered less before the fee settled at €3.5m in exchange for Barcelona keeping half the economic rights. The retained rights mean Barcelona can re-sign Virgili at a reduced effective cost and receive half of any future transfer fee.
