| Ferran Jutgla of FC Barcelona B looks on during the Primera RFEF Group 2 match between Atletico Baleares and FC Barcelona B at Estadio Balear on April 17, 2022 in Mallorca, Spain. |
Ferran Jutgla has
left FC Barcelona to join Belgian outfit Club Brugge, the Catalan giants have
confirmed via their official media channels.
The 23-year-old
forward had signed for the Blaugrana only last summer, arriving on a
free transfer from local rivals Espanyol. He enjoyed an impressive campaign
with Barça’s B team, finishing as the top scorer, bagging 19 goals in 32
matches, while also setting up six more.

Jutgla also got a
brief run in the Barcelona senior setup towards the end of 2021. The versatile
forward made a decent impact under Xavi’s tutelage, scoring twice in eight matches.
The 23-year-old was
out of contract in the summer, but the Blaugrana decided to extend
the deal for another year to protect his transfer value.
While there had
been murmurs of a possible full-time promotion up to the senior team at Camp
Nou, Barça have instead decided to cash in on Jutgla, with the Spaniard now set
to join Belgian outfit Club Brugge.
As per the terms of
the deal, Barcelona will stand to pocket a fee of around €5 million from
Jutgla’s departure. The Blaugrana will also be entitled to a €10% of
any fee from the future sale of the former Espanyol forward.
Jutgla has signed a four-year deal with Brugge, committing his future to the club until 2026.
