Marcus Rashford showers praise on Joan Laporta and Deco's favorite signing

Barça has added several exciting names this summer, but one has won over the board and the locker room

Barça faces the new season with three signings that have caused excitement among the fans: Marcus Rashford, Roony Bardghji, and Joan García. All three arrived with different profiles, but with the same goal of bringing freshness and quality. Each one, moreover, has had a particular adaptation process within the locker room.

Deco and Joan Laporta have shown satisfaction with the initial performance of these new faces, who have shown commitment from day one. The board believes that the work done in this transfer window has been strategic and very necessary. However, there's one name that stands out above the rest in internal conversations.

This signing not only brings talent on the field, but has also surprised with a quick integration into the group. His open character and maturity despite his youth have strongly caught attention. In a very short time, he has earned the trust of both his teammates and the board.

This is Roony Bardghji, the 19-year-old Kuwaiti who has arrived in Barcelona with an immediate impact. His arrival has been considered a very positive move. Laporta and Deco see him as a bet for the future and, at the same time, a very desired present.

The young man has won over the locker room with his humility, but also with his ability to create connections on and off the field. One of the most notable bonds is with Marcus Rashford, with whom he has developed great chemistry. That harmony is already evident in training sessions and daily life.

The Rashford–Bardghji connection excites the board

Rashford, who arrived to bring experience and quality to the attacking rotation, has found an unexpected ally in Bardghji. Both keep a close relationship that positively influences the overall atmosphere in the locker room. That chemistry is also reflected in the motivation they transmit to their teammates.

The Brit has not hesitated to publicly praise the young man, highlighting his talent and the work ethic he shows every day. Rashford believes Bardghji has immense potential and that he can become a reference for Barça. His words have reinforced the trust the board already had in the Kuwaiti.

A signing that strengthens Barça's present and future

The partnership between Rashford and Bardghji brings added value to the sports project Laporta and Deco want to consolidate. It's not only about football quality, but also about positive leadership in the locker room. Barcelona fans see in that relationship a sign that something solid is being built.

At just 19, Bardghji represents the hope for a bright future and, at the same time, the certainty that he can contribute right now. His harmony with Marcus Rashford confirms that the new signings add not only in sports, but also on a human level. That's why today he is seen as one of Barça's most desired signings.
