Barcelona's sporting director Deco met with the agent of winger Jan Virgili, Alvaro Aicua, to discuss the player's future. Following Mallorca's relegation, Virgili's buyback clause dropped from 30 million to 12 million euros. Barcelona originally sold Virgili for 3.5 million euros last summer and retained a 40% stake in a future sale and a right of first refusal. The club is considering two scenarios: bringing him back to sell him for a significant profit, or keeping him as a squad option for coach Hansi Flick. Virgili performed well under former Mallorca coach Arrasate as a right winger but lost playing time under Demichelis. His return is complicated by Barcelona's crowded forward line, which includes Lamine, Raphinha, new signing Anthony Gordon, Ferran, and Roony, with a potential move for Rashford also possible. However, Virgili's versatility on both wings and doubts over Roony's future could open a path for his return.
