Roony Bardghji's signing opens new options for Barça

His adaptation to Barça's style has been surprisingly quick. In training sessions, he stands out for his confidence and ability to solve situations in tight spaces. Flick already values his profile as a top-level game-changer.

With Bardghji in the squad, Barça gains a new offensive weapon. He can play on both wings and also as an attacking midfielder. His arrival expands Hansi Flick's tactical options for this season.

Bardghji, Laporta and Barça's offensive bet for the future

Joan Laporta had other priorities to strengthen the attack this summer. For months, his favorite was Rafael Leao, a proven footballer from Serie A. Someone with a dominant physique and the ability to break through on the left.

Rafael Leao is the president's great obsession. However, Bardghji's arrival has changed the perspective. The Swede has convinced everyone with his work and talent.

Roony Bardghji wants to compete with the best right away

Roony doesn't want to be treated as a prospect. He sees himself ready to fight for minutes from the very first match. His ambition has even surprised the veterans in the locker room.

"I didn't come to watch from the bench," he reportedly said in private according to sources close to him. His confidence has made Laporta reconsider the investment in his favorite. Given the circumstances, Roony Bardghji promises to do better than Rafael Leao.

The bet on Bardghji is also a sign for the future

Barça has bet on youth with international potential. Roony represents that new signing profile: precocious talent with a strong personality. Hansi Flick is already preparing a specific role for him in the offensive rotation.

With matches in La Liga, Copa, and Champions League, the Swede will get minutes. His one-on-one skill will be vital in tight games. His progress could leave no room for more expensive signings.

Flick believes he can get the best out of Roony this very season

The German coach believes Roony Bardghji has a very high ceiling. With daily work and competitive rhythm, he can make a significant leap in just a few months. The coaching staff see him as a diamond in the rough.

Flick has already worked with similar profiles in other projects. He knows how to manage young players with talent and personality. He trusts Roony Bardghji will be one of the revelations of the season.
