Barcelona is engaged in discussions with Jan Virgili's representatives regarding his return to the club, as reported on June 15, 2026. Virgili, who left for Real Mallorca last summer, has a €12 million release clause following Mallorca's relegation. However, Barcelona can secure him for €7.2 million since they retain 40 percent of his rights. Despite a solid performance in his debut season with two goals and six assists, Virgili faced limited opportunities under the new Mallorca management late in the season. Reports suggest that while there is interest in Virgili, Barcelona might prioritize signing a striker and enhancing their defense rather than focusing fully on his acquisition.
