As it prepares to lose several key players, including Noa Lang, FC Bruges seems to have found the one who might become the new “sensational” striker of JanBreydelstation. And if his name (Ferran Jutglà) is still unknown to the general public, his CV speaks for him since the 23-year-old boy comes straight from … FC Barcelona!
Arrived free of any contract from Espanyol Barcelona last summer, Jutglà notably played six matches in December and January, the opportunity to score a goal once morest Elche. The rest of the time, he played with the B team, with which he planted 19 goals and distributed 6 assists in 32 games this season.
According to well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano and Catalan daily Sport, the transfer is close to being completed. Bruges will spend 5 million euros, excluding bonuses (which might bring the total price around 7 million euros), and sell 10% of the price of the future resale to FC Barcelona, which is therefore making a good deal for a player recruited for free. The player has also come to terms with the club and the deal is expected to be official this week.
