Departure imminent: Barcelona youngster closing in €7 million move to Belgian giants

Ferran Jutgla has been the star of the Barcelona B side, producing blistering performances in the Primera Division R.F.E.F.

In 32 matches, the striker has scored 19 goals and had even made eight competitive appearances for the senior team.

However, it appears his chapter with FC Barcelona is set to come to an abrupt end, with the forward currently on the verge of joining Club Brugge, reports Diario SPORT.

Jutgla is set to travel to Bruges tomorrow to complete a medical at the club. He will be presented as a Club Brugge player by midweek, with the Belgian outfit expected to cough up around €7 million to secure his services.

Barcelona have reserved no right to sign him back, meaning his Club Brugge contract should include no buy-back clause.

It is hardly surprising as Ferran Jutgla’s relationship with Barça had soured in recent months. The player is unhappy with his lack of prospects in the senior team, despite his excellent performances for the B team.

Jutgla had even publicly confirmed the fact Barcelona do not want him anymore. It has prompted him to seek an immediate exit from Camp Nou, with Club Brugge emerging as the likely destination.

At Club Brugge, the 23-year-old is likely to serve as a long-term replacement for Bas Dost. The veteran Dutchman’s current contract at the club expires in the summer, and he is set for a new adventure elsewhere, paving the way for Jutgla to become a first-team regular.

Barcelona, for their part, could welcome the exit of Ferran Jutgla. His departure hands them a direct profit of €7 million that should play its part in helping the club attract newer players and rebuild the team, in the wake of their recent mediocrity.
