On Monday morning in Catalonia, La Liga giant FC Barcelona used its official website to announce a new signing that will train with the first team in preseason and could stay there if he impresses head coach Hansi Flick.
“FC Barcelona and FC Copenhagen have reached agreement for the transfer of the player Roony Bardghji. The winger is to sign a contract with the club for four seasons until 30 June 2029,” a statement from the Blaugrana began.
The club explained how Bardghji was born in Kuwait on November 15 2005, yet is a Swedish national known “for his skill, speed, and goalscoring ability”, which are “qualities that make him a great prospect for the future”.
Bardghji has been signed from Danish outfit FC Copenhagen for what has been reported as a fee exceeding $3 million, but he started out at Malmo in his homeland.
Barca said that his talent saw him quickly promoted to the Copenhagen first team in 2022, where he went on to play 84 games in which he scored 15 goals and provided one assist.
One of those goals came against Manchester United in the Champions League, which means that the 19-year-old already boasts experience in Europe’s elite competition against big, traditional clubs.
He was further called one “of the most in-demand young players” on the continent, whose rise “was temporarily curtailed due to a serious injury that left him on the sidelines for almost a year”.
“Despite this setback and having now recovered, his quality has been on show since his return,” Barca stated.
The club predicts that Bardghji’s presence on the right wing “can, therefore, make the difference and provide more dynamism”.
“During his spell for Copenhagen, he won three Danish league titles and two Danish cups, making decisive contributions for team success,” Barca concluded.
Bardghji can provide positional rivalry to Lamine Yamal at FC Barcelona – on one condition
Sharing the same flank as the Ballon d’Or hopeful, Bardghji can provide positional rivalry to Lamine Yamal at FC Barcelona. That’s only if he proves to Flick that he is worthy of staying in the first team squad by impressing him in preseason training, alongside nine other hopefuls in a similar predicament that have been temporarily promoted from the reserve outfit Barca Atletic.
