"I am someone who believes you should always look in-house first, as I've always said, and then look outside depending on the characteristics of the players you have," he told ESPN.

When Barcelona sold him, the transfer fee was around €4 million. However, the club made sure to protect their long-term interests. They retained 40% of any future sale and also secured a right of first refusal, which could now become very important. Note that it is not a buy-back option, but it allows them to match any offer that Mallorca receive. For example, if a club bids €20 million for Virgili, Barcelona could match that amount and would have priority in negotiations.

Jan Virgili starred for Spain's Under-21s on Friday night as he scored a brilliant brace in a 7-0 thrashing of San Marino. The 19-year-old, who left Barcelona for Mallorca in the summer, bagged his first goal with an absolute golazo that makes for a great watch. And he wasn't done there, either. Virgili scored his second of the match early in the second half with another lovely effort.
