"The move itself was structured with Barcelona's long-term interests in mind. Mallorca paid €3.5 million for 50% of the player's rights, tying him down to a five-year contract until 2030. Importantly, Barcelona retained 50% of any future sale and secured the right of first refusal, even though no direct buyback clause was included in the deal. Barcelona return still possible Speaking about the situation, Chacartegui offered clarity on how Mallorca would approach a potential return to Barcelona."
""I think Barça has a surplus in that position. Relations between Mallorca and Barcelona are good, as we've seen with Pablo Torre and Jan Virgili. "There was also talk about Hector Fort, although he ended up at Elche. If the player wants to return, Mallorca won't stand in his way," Chacartegui explained as reported by SPORT. The journalist went further, hinting that Virgili's stay at Mallorca may be short-lived regardless of Barcelona's intentions."
Jan Virgili left Barcelona at 19 to seek regular top-level minutes, joining Mallorca for €3.5 million for 50% of his rights on a five-year deal through 2030. Barcelona retained 50% of any future sale and secured the right of first refusal while not including a direct buyback clause. Virgili moved to accelerate development due to limited opportunities under Hansi Flick. Relations between Mallorca and Barcelona are described as good, and Mallorca indicates it would not block a return if the player desires one. Observers expect Virgili to change clubs next summer because of a low buyout clause and strong La Liga form.
