Jutgla has been the star of the Barcelona B side, producing blistering performances for the team. In 32 matches, the striker has scored 19 goals and had even made eight competitive appearances for the senior team and has scored one League goal.

The player is unhappy with his lack of prospects in the senior team, despite his excellent performances for the B team and had even publicly confirmed the fact Barcelona do not want him anymore. It has prompted him to seek an immediate exit from Camp Nou.

He is 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. There’s no doubt he’s a prospective talent, but the current situation of the Blaugrana has forced them to take drastic measures, hence his transfer fee should go a long way in helping the club get towards financial safety.

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.

Meanwhile…

Barcelona midfielder, Miralem Pjanic is attracting interest from France, with Marseille said to be interested in the player as they seek to replace the departed Boubacar Kamara, who joined Aston Villa.

The Bosnian midfielder arrived from Juventus in the summer of 2020 but was barely trusted by Ronald Koeman from the offset. Following his near isolation, Barcelona sent him to Besiktas on loan last season and the Turkish side aren’t interested in signing him permanently.

While he has returned to Barcelona, the club are looking to offload him but no club is willing to sign him, partly due to his high wage. Should he join Marseille, it would be on loan with Barcelona also paying part of his salary, which they would gladly do just to get him off their books.
