Hansi Flick and Joan Laporta: At odds over Roony Bardghji?

Hansi Flick and Joan Laporta have divided opinions regarding the inclusion of Roony Bardghji for the 25/26 season. The Swede arrived at FC Barcelona from Copenhagen, signing a contract until June 2029. The Blaugrana club paid 2 million euros to the Danish team for the transfer.

Since his debut in Copenhagen's first team, the Kuwait-born player played 84 games, scored 15 goals and provided one assist. Despite being injured for a large part of the previous season, the scouts of the Azulgrana club did not doubt his talent and future projection.

The coaching staff does not clearly see the continuity of Roony Bardghji

So that the young Swedish promise does not lose his progress, one of the recommendations that have been made from the Barça coaching staff is to loan him to another club, where he can have a leading role. At the moment, it is very difficult with the competition he has in attack with Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Raphinha and Marcus Rashford.

The Swedish winger was present in all pre-season games, with 135 minutes played, he was able to score a goal in his first presentation against Vissel Kobe, demonstrating his quality with the ball. On the tour he wore the '19', the number that Lamine Yamal used the previous season.

However, it is clear that the 19-year-old striker will have a secondary and, perhaps, residual role in 25/26 if he finally stays. Lamine will be untouchable as a right winger and, when the '10' rests, both Raphinha and Rashford and Ferran himself can relieve him without problems.

Last year, players like Pau Víctor and Pablo Torre experienced a similar situation. Both were liked by Flick, but finally had very few opportunities to show their quality. Not surprisingly, the striker went to Braga and the midfielder to Mallorca this summer.

The idea of Roony Bardghji playing in the youth team is discarded

Barça Atlètic's relegation to the Second RFEF has complicated things for the development of young talents in the Azulgrana team. The idea of Roony Bardghji playing in the fourth category of Spanish football is practically discarded, as this could truncate his progress.

While the board believes that he has a lot to learn and contribute in the first team; on the other hand, the coaching staff prefers that the Swedish attacker can look for a place where he can be a protagonist and return again. Will the 19-year-old footballer be able to earn his place in the elite with Barça?
