Jan Virgili joins Club Brugge after €12m clause is paid | OneFootball

Jan Virgili has joined Club Brugge after his release clause was met, ending Benfica’s hopes of signing the winger. According to Glorioso 1904, the Belgian club triggered a €12m clause to take the 20-year-old from Mallorca after just one season.

The Barcelona academy graduate impressed during his year on the island, yet could not prevent relegation. He now prepares for his first spell outside Spain.

Benfica had monitored Virgili closely throughout this window and considered a move, but did not follow through.

Barcelona were also floated as a possible destination for a return, however Brugge convinced him to head to Belgium after stepping up decisively.

Despite a brief stay, Virgili made a clear impact at Mallorca and formed a particularly productive partnership with Vedat Muriqi. The pair have now gone separate ways, with Virgili moving to Belgium and the Turkish striker joining Fenerbahçe.
