Why Barcelona Sold Virgil

The young winger Yan Virgili left "Barcelona" this August and joined the club "Mallorca." The club's sporting director, Deco, wanted to retain the 19-year-old talented player, but Virgili personally requested a transfer.

According to Diario AS, Virgili felt that he had outgrown Barcelona's reserve team and decided to challenge himself at another La Liga club. "Barcelona" earned €3.5 million from Yan Virgili's transfer.

The current market value of the Catalonia club academy graduate is estimated at €10 million on the Transfermarkt portal. This season, the player has provided 2 assists in 7 La Liga matches for "Mallorca."
