Hansi Flick is finalizing the details for the season that's about to begin in La Liga. After thoroughly analyzing the performance during the Asian tour, the German coach has made key decisions for his project. The new signings, such as Rashford and Bardghji, are already well integrated and will strengthen the culé attack.
Hansi Flick and the integration of signings
Rashford has started several times, providing speed and goals on the right wing. Meanwhile, Bardghji has shown solidity on the left as the first replacement, showing his quality in valuable minutes. Flick knows that with these additions, the offensive scheme gains versatility and competition.
However, this improvement brings consequences for other emerging talents at the club. There's a footballer who wanted to make the direct jump to the first team, but hasn't managed to convince Flick. The opportunity to shine without going through intermediate stages becomes more complicated with the arrival of the reinforcements.
A young talent losing space
This is a very promising young player trained at La Masia, who's seen his options decrease. Jan Virgili, that key name, has expressed his intention to leave the club to seek minutes and growth. He wants to take a step forward without getting stuck in lower categories.
The first options pointed to Mallorca, which is looking to strengthen its squad with young players with potential. However, Almería has emerged strongly as an alternative to take in Virgili. Both clubs would be interested in signing him for next season.
The financial condition for Virgili's departure
However, there's an obstacle that complicates negotiations. Deco, Barça's sporting director, has asked for a figure close to four million euros to let him leave. In addition, he wants to secure a percentage of a future sale, seeking long-term benefits.
The next steps to take at Barça
For now, neither Mallorca nor Almería are willing to accept those conditions. This situation halts the transfer and keeps the uncertainty about Virgili's immediate future. Meanwhile, Flick continues shaping the squad without him in his plans.
Jan Virgili is living a crucial moment in his career, facing the reality of seeking minutes outside the institution. Hansi Flick has made a clear decision: He doesn't have space for this young player in his current project. The future could be far from Barça, in Mallorca, Almería, or another destination that meets the financial demands.
