Barcelona continues planning its squad for next season with a name on the table that raises doubts: Roony Bardghji. Nobody expected his signing this summer, but it's a personal bet from Deco who will be "in between" the first team and the reserves. At 19 years old, he arrives from Copenhagen for just over €2 million and has already attracted the interest of up to three major clubs in Spain.
In recent hours, the interest of Betis, Mallorca, and Sevilla in Bardghji has been revealed. The three clubs are considering him to strengthen their respective squads on loan. This is a possibility that Barça doesn't rule out, having any option on the table in this regard. The idea is for him to get minutes that will help him adapt to Spain in his first contract season.
It seems difficult for him to get these minutes at Barça due to the competition in the attacking line. Nevertheless, no scenario is ruled out. What is clear is that there is maximum trust in Roony Bardghji and he is seen as a footballer with great potential to succeed in Europe.
Roony Bardghji, a strategic signing for Barça
Barcelona already has one of the most promising talents in European soccer secured: Roony Bardghji, a Swedish winger just 19 years old, will leave Copenhagen this summer to wear the blaugrana jersey. His arrival is part of a strategic bet by the club on youth, potential, and imbalance on the wing, exactly the profile Flick values in his project.
Bardghji has been one of the jewels of Nordic soccer since he was 16. He debuted very young in the Danish Superliga and soon began to stand out for his left-footed skill, quick dribbling, and offensive vision. However, a serious injury halted his progress for much of 2023. After months of recovery, he has come back stronger and more mature, regaining his best level just in time to make the leap.
At Barça, they see him as a footballer capable of competing in the short term and growing alongside players like Lamine Yamal, Fermín, or Pau Cubarsí. He will not be a starter right away, but his talent is beyond doubt. The deal has been closed quietly, just as Deco likes, and Bardghji is expected to join in the coming days.
