Barcelona gets second offer for 19-year-old attacking talent
Barcelona Young Talent Facing Uncertain Future
Barcelona’s affiliate team, Barca Atletic, faced relegation to the fourth tier, leading to the departure of several promising players. One such talent, Jan Virgili, who showed potential in the last season, is now facing an uncertain future with the club.
Virgili’s Potential Exit
Despite Virgili’s talent, the arrival of Roony Bardghji and Marcus Rashford has limited his opportunities for a first-team breakthrough. Exclusion from the preseason tour to Asia has further hinted at a possible exit for Virgili, who is reluctant to continue in the fourth tier.
Negotiations with RCD Mallorca
Reports suggest that RCD Mallorca expressed interest in Virgili, offering €2m for half of his rights with a buyback option for Barcelona. However, negotiations have stalled as Barcelona’s Director of Football, Deco, is seeking €4m for the young talent. Barcelona is not considering loan deals, emphasizing Virgili’s potential to become a future star.
Fresh Offer from Almeria
Another offer has emerged for Virgili, this time from Almeria in Segunda. Former Barcelona assistant manager, Rubi, is keen on bringing Virgili to Almeria, offering a six-year deal and €3m for 50% of his rights. The decision now lies with Virgili on whether he prefers a move to La Liga or a more prominent role in a Segunda club.
