‘It’d be a dream’ - Jan Virgili eager for chance to impress Hansi Flick on Barcelona’s pre-season tour

Barcelona Atletic’s Jan Virgili has said he would love to join the first-team on their pre-season tour of Asia this summer.

Virgili is one of several youngsters being tipped to make it onto the plane as Hansi Flick takes a check on some of his La Masia stars.

The 18-year-old says it’s great to see Flick taking such an interest and that he hopes he is given the nod.

“I wish I could go on the Asian tour, it would be a f***ing dream. Seeing the importance Hansi places on the youth system is beautiful,” he told Gerard Romero’s Jijantes.
