The FC Barcelona board continues to work on reinforcing its attack for 2025/26. With Ansu Fati's departure to Monaco well underway and the discarding of players such as Pau Víctor and Pablo Torre, the club has focused on incorporating a couple of wingers in the summer market.
While waiting to see what happens with Marcus Rashford, Barça is very close to incorporating another 'pearl' for the right side, where Lamine Yamal is untouchable in the blaugrana scheme. It is Roony Bardghji, a 19-year-old forward who Deco has been following for months at Copenhagen.
The incorporation of the Swedish winger has no other objective than to shield the Mataró native with a substitute with enough talent and overflow to reduce the pressure on the culé star regarding the need to play absolutely everything in such a demanding season that, in addition, will include the World Cup in North America next summer.
Roony Bardghji's signing will give oxygen to Lamine Yamal
In the 24/25 season, Lamine played 55 (52 as a starter) of Barça's 60 matches, exceeding 4500 minutes of action. Deco anticipated the club's intention to give more rest to the Rocafonda native and Raphinha with the incorporation of one or two reinforcements.
Well, the imminent signing of Nico Williams and the arrival of Roony Bardghji concretizes this objective with flying colors. In the case of the Swede, he is a footballer with an ideal profile to be a substitute for the new blaugrana '10'.
At Copenhagen, the 19-year-old attacker was characterized by his speed and explosiveness in one-on-ones. Due to his height and weight, some compare him to Eden Hazard for his ability to hook towards his left foot, boasting a lethal shot.
Understanding that Lamine will almost always play, it is likely that Hansi Flick will give the winger some playing time with the reserve team. Barça Atlètic needs new legs and talent to return to the Primera RFEF and Bardghji can be a very important piece for this objective.
However, Flick will also take the opportunity to include Roony in his rotation plan. Just as Robert Lewandowsi dosed loads during a good part of the 24/25 season, Lamine and the rest of the forwards will also do the same next year to deal with the wear and tear of an implacable calendar.
The details of Roony Bardghji's possible transfer
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barça will pay 2 million euros fixed plus variables for the Swedish footballer, but Copenhagen will reserve a repurchase option.
In principle, the verbal agreement is already closed between the parties and Roony could travel to Catalonia next week to pass the medical examination and sign his contract.
Understanding that Bardghji is already listed for around 7.5 million euros on Transfermarkt, the operation will be very profitable for Barça. The winger's contract with the Danish team ends in December, a factor that contributed to lowering his departure price.
