Jan Virgili has admitted it would be difficult to say no if Barcelona come calling in the summer about a return to the club.
There’s been speculation that Barcelona are pondering bringing back Virgili rather than paying Marcus Rashford’s €30 million buy option.

The question has now been put to Virgili in an interview with Sport and he replied: “Well, if Barça called me, it would be hard to say no.”
Virgili left for Real Mallorca last summer and spoke about his decision to move on following Barca Atletic’s relegation.
“It was a dream come true for me. Plus, the great year we had with the Juvenil A team, winning the Cup, the League and the Champions League, and then playing with the reserve team, was an unforgettable experience,” he said.
“In the end, when I started preseason with the first team, I was hoping to go on the tour and at least try to prove myself or have the opportunity to play with the first team, but it didn’t happen,.
“These things happen, and in the end, I received an offer from Mallorca and decided to go for a change of direction. ”
Barca have first refusal on Virgili and it sounds like he’s more than willing to return to Camp Nou if the club decide to make a move this summer.
