""Very good. "I was there for a year, starting in the youth team, then moving up to the reserve team, scoring goals and having a week of preseason training with the first team. "All of that gives you a name and visibility. I will always be grateful to Barça.""
""Very. It was a difficult decision, but I knew I wanted to play in the First Division. It was very difficult to get opportunities at Barça. "I left in search of playing time and opportunities, although it hurt to leave the club.""
""To play with a lot of possession. At Barça, the wingers got a lot of balls, so you could try more. "In other teams, you have fewer opportunities, and you have to be more focused. "If you make three good plays, they're worth more than 20 dribbles without a result.""
Jan Virgili, a 19-year-old former Barcelona winger, has made a promising start at Mallorca with seven La Liga appearances and two assists. He left Barcelona in the summer after recognising limited first-team opportunities under Hansi Flick and sought regular top-flight minutes. Barcelona sold 50% of his rights for €3.5 million while including a buy-back clause. Virgili credited Barcelona for shaping his tactical understanding and possession-based winger play. He described the move as difficult emotionally but necessary to gain playing time and continue his development in the First Division. Mallorca has given him a platform to showcase his creativity.
