"Barcelona will come up against a familiar face on Saturday when they take on Real Mallorca. The Catalan giants will come up against Jan Virgili, who left the club for Mallorca in the summer on a five-year contract. Virgili has gone on to catch the eye, scoring a brilliant goal for Spain's Under-21s, and contributing five assists so this season for a struggling Real Mallorca side."
"There has already been talk that he could move on at the end of the season, with Barca holding a right of first refusal for any transfer involving Virgili, meaning they can bring him back if they want to. Virgili sent out a prety heartfel message when he left, telling fans he "will never stop loving these colors," which suggests he could easily be tempted back to Catalunya."
Jan Virgili left Barcelona for Real Mallorca in the summer on a five-year contract. He has attracted attention by scoring a brilliant goal for Spain Under-21s and providing five assists this season for a struggling Mallorca side. Barcelona retain a right of first refusal on any transfer involving Virgili, which would allow them to re-sign him. Virgili sent a heartfelt message on departure saying he "will never stop loving these colors," indicating potential openness to a return. Barcelona are considering future options, noting Virgili is nine years younger than Marcus Rashford and would be cheaper, and Virgili can showcase himself at Camp Nou on Saturday.
