Jan Virigili has been linked with a return to Barcelona throughout this season as the Catalans search for a new left winger for next season.
The former Barcelona player made 31 appearances for Mallorca this season in La Liga, scoring twice and grabbing four assists.
However, his future in once again in the spotlight after Mallorca’s relegation. According to Diario Sport, the team’s drop down the divisions means his release clause has reduced from €30m to just €12 million.
If you add in the fact that
Barcelona also have 40% of a future sale and the right of first refusal, it means that Virgili could potentially be snapped up for just €7m.
The change in circumstances may well prove tempting for Barca as they seek to strengthen their squad. The Catalans are reportedly ready to spend big on a striker but are also thought to want a winger and a defender in time for the new campaign.
