FC Barcelona has agreed a new transfer with a player and his club according to market expert Fabrizio Romano, who relayed the news on his popular X account.
“Roony Bardghji to Barcelona, here we go! Deal now confirmed as verbal agreement is done and [it] will be sealed from next week,” the Italian tweeted.
“Barça will pay €2 million ($2.3 million) fixed fee plus add-ons and [there will be a] sell-on clause for [the] FC Copenhagen talent. [It’s a] long term deal sealed with the Swedish talented winger,” Romano added.
If the operation is confirmed and announced next week, 19-year-old Bardghji will probably become the Catalans’ second signing of the summer.
Already, Barça has sealed 2024/2025 breakout star Joan Garcia from Espanyol, whose €25 million release clause it paid ahead of announcing the youngster’s capture and having him sign a six-year contract.
After Garcia was successfully landed, Barça started getting to work on signing Nico Williams, whose release clause is fixed at a much higher €58 million payment required to get him out of his Athletic Club terms.
The Euro 2024 winner with Spain would provide relief to Raphinha on the left wing while the Brazilian will probably drift into the center as a CAM or number 10 when the both feature.
Simultaneously, Dani Olmo could act as a false number 9 while a Robert Lewandowski believed to be on his way to Saudi Arabia in 2026 is gradually phased out.
A similar logic could apply to Bardghji, who if impressing Flick in preseason might supply back up to Lamine Yamal and give the 17-year-old a rest.
There’s a fear of overloading the prodigy, who played 55 games in 2024/2025 and 50 games in the campaign before that, with Ansu Fati’s fall from grace a cautionary tale of putting too many minutes in young legs.
Making his debut in the competition in October 2022, Bardghji has Champions League pedigree and scored a late winner against Manchester United in a 4-3 victory in late 2023.
Bardghji is a bet for the future from FC Barcelona
Not quite boasting the experience of someone like Williams, who is also a few years older than him, Bardghji is a bet for the future for FC Barcelona yet has Culers excited for the promise he has shown as a skillful winger that is adept at cutting inside, strong on his feet and also displays a goalscoring threat.
