Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is planning to afford a place in his squad bound for Asia later this month to a highly-regarded member of the club’s youth ranks.

That’s according to journalist Nacho Jiménez, who points towards Jan Virgili as the player in question.

The name of winger Virgili has emerged as an altogether prominent one in the media chatter across Spain over recent weeks.

This comes after the 18-year-old played a starring role for La Roja, en route to booking their spot in the finale of the U19 European Championships.

Such excellence has since given rise to a place in Barcelona’s first-team setup for pre-season training this week.

And as alluded to above, Virgili has evidently already done enough to impress manager Hansi Flick and his staff.

This comes amid confirmation on the part of Nacho Jiménez that:

‘Jan Virgili is set to be one of the 26 footballers traveling with the first team for the Asian tour. Today, we were able to see Hansi Flick chatting with him during the 15 minutes of session coverage.’
