FC Barcelona has experienced significant changes in recent years, with a deep renewal of its squad. Under Xavi Hernández's direction, there was a strong commitment to La Masia, giving opportunities to young talents like Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí, and Gavi, who have established themselves in the first team.
However, not all players trained in the blaugrana academy had the same luck. Some didn't manage to earn the coaching staff's trust and had to seek playing time with other teams.
Now, one of those footballers who left through the back door might be about to return to LaLiga. After having proven his worth in European football.
Xavi Hernández and Barça's Discards
During his tenure as Barça's coach, Xavi made difficult decisions. Although he gave opportunities to many young players, others didn't fit into his project. One of the most striking cases was that of a forward with great potential, but who never managed to settle in the team.
He debuted with good impressions and showed flashes of quality, but the competition in attack and technical decisions left him without space. Despite his efforts, he ended up in the background until he finally left the club in search of new opportunities.
In his new destination, he has managed to rediscover his best version and become one of the most interesting forwards in his league. Now, several LaLiga clubs have set their sights on him and could bring him back to the Spanish championship.
An Unexpected Return: Three Spanish Teams Want to Sign Him
The forward's great performance in Belgium has sparked interest from several Spanish teams. In particular, three LaLiga clubs have inquired about his situation and could make an offer next transfer market.
- Real Sociedad: They are looking for a mobile forward to strengthen their attack, and his profile would fit perfectly into Imanol Alguacil's scheme.
- Sevilla: The Andalusian team needs to improve their scoring ability after an irregular season in which they lacked effectiveness in the opponent's area.
- Villarreal: The Yellow Submarine continues its renewal process and sees this forward as an interesting market opportunity.
All three options are attractive and would allow him to return to Spain with a leading role. Additionally, his signing is expected not to require a significant outlay, which facilitates his arrival at any of these teams.
Laporta Considers His Return to Barça
Amid the interest from these teams, FC Barcelona has also started to consider his situation. Although he left through the back door at the time, his progress abroad has made the management reconsider his signing.
The main reason is that Joan Laporta is looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. At 35 years old, the Pole continues to perform at a high level, but his wear is evident and the club needs a young forward who can alternate with him.
In this context, the possibility of recovering a player with Barça DNA who has proven his worth in another league gains strength. His experience in Spanish football and his knowledge of the playing style could make him an ideal replacement for Lewandowski in the medium term.
The Player Returning to LaLiga Is...
After three seasons in Belgium, Ferran Jutglà is ready to return to Spain. The forward left for Club Brugge in 2022 after not having opportunities at Barça. He has managed to stand out in the Jupiler Pro League, establishing himself as one of the best strikers in the tournament.
Jutglà has demonstrated scoring ability, mobility in the area, and great sacrifice, which has caught the attention of several clubs. Real Sociedad, Sevilla, and Villarreal have already shown interest in acquiring his services, although Barça doesn't rule out bringing him back to strengthen the forward line.
With the summer market approaching, his return to LaLiga seems imminent. The big question is: will he return to Camp Nou to be Lewandowski's replacement or choose a new destination in Spain?
