Barcelona opens discussions to re-sign Jan Virgili from Mallorca

Barcelona has initiated talks with Mallorca about the potential return of winger Jan Virgili, following Mallorca's relegation to the Segunda Division. The 19-year-old's release clause has decreased to €12 million, allowing Barcelona to potentially reacquire him for just €7 million. Virgili, who left Barcelona last summer, returned for Mallorca's pre-season and completed his medical examinations. While Deco evaluates the possibility of bringing Virgili back, Barcelona aims to assess whether he fits into new coach Hansi Flick's plans. The club may consider a loan for Virgili, with interest from other teams like Real Betis evident.
