Jan Virgili is a permanent desire of Mallorca, for which Jagoba Arrasate has already contacted the player, while Barça is only considering a loan

RCD Mallorca does not give up on its idea of wanting another FC Barcelona player after taking Pablo Torre. In this sense, the 'bermellón' team is closely following the left winger Jan Virgili, who is currently training with Barça Atlètic, under the orders of Juliano Belletti.

And, in fact, the interest of the Son Moix team is so accurate that the team's coach, Jagoba Arrasate, took on the task of contacting the 19-year-old attacker to explain the role he would have in his team if an agreement is reached to incorporate him, according to recent information.

It should be noted that Mallorca is based in Austria to play three matches as part of its preseason. However, this has not prevented Arrasate and Pablo Ortells, sports director, from continuing to assess options to shape the squad for the 2025/26 season.

Barça studies loaning Jan Virgili to accelerate his development

In this sense, with the blaugrana subsidiary in the Second Federation, the azulgrana team considers the possibility that Jan Virgili continues his progression in a First Division team, through a loan, to be positive.

Thus, the club would have already received several proposals, including one from Mallorca and another from Girona. However, the sports director, Deco, does not intend to rush the decision. However, the 'mallorquín' team would be the best positioned to get the attacker.

Within the club there is a clear position based on maintaining absolute control of the left winger. Therefore, if an exit is finalized, the only formula will be the loan.

Mallorca's need to reinforce its wings can be exploited by Barça

The 'mallorquín' team urgently needs to reinforce its wingers, as this represented a 'headache' last season, because 'Chiquinho' and Valery Fernández ended their loans and also did not work.

Another issue to highlight is that Robert Navarro went to Athletic Club de Bilbao, so he does not have enough weapons, for now, to face the upcoming season.

Considering this context, Barca could take advantage of the situation to not be pressured by Mallorca, since the one most in need is the 'bermellón' team, therefore they could calmly negotiate Virgili's departure on loan and only for one season.

Barça reinforces its attack and leaves Virgili without a place in the main squad

Jan Virgili was shaping up to be one of the 'pearls' of Barca on the Barca preseason tour. However, the arrival of Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji ended up blocking the player's possible promotion to the first team.

The '45' of Barca Atlètic trained for several days under the orders of Hansi Flick, but the coach ruled him out of the preseason to take Jofre Torrents, Toni and Guille Fernández and Pedro 'Dro' Fernández who apparently surprised the German coach in a positive way.
