Deal almost done! Benfica target set for Club Brugge in €12m move | OneFootball

Jan Virgili is very close to leaving Mallorca and already has his next destination lined up. The Spanish winger, who was on Benfica’s radar, is preparing to join Club Brugge of Belgium, who are set to trigger his €12 million release clause.

According to Sport, the deal will also benefit Barcelona, who still held a significant percentage of the player’s economic rights. The Catalan club will receive €4.8 million, corresponding to the 40% of his rights they still owned.

At 20 years old, the winger made 34 appearances, 31 in La Liga and three in the Copa del Rey, totaling 1,826 minutes on the pitch. The Spain Under-21 international finished the season with three goals and five assists. Valued at around €15 million, Virgili is now set to experience his first spell outside Spain.

Jan Virgili was also linked with Benfica during the transfer window. The Lisbon club closely monitored the youngster’s situation, in information first reported by specialist Matteo Moretto. The Eagles were not, however, the only club keeping an eye on the player’s situation. Virgili was also linked with a possible return to Barcelona, but ultimately chose a move to Belgium.

As such, Benfica miss out on yet another option for the wings. Jan Virgili, who was at one point tracked by the Eagles, will now continue his career in Belgium, with Club Brugge securing his signing by paying the €12 million release clause.
