Big clubs taking note

As mentioned above, Barcelona have taken note of Bardghji’s explosion this season, but are not the only club interested as the likes of Chelsea, Juventus, and Bayer Leverkusen are also keeping an eye on him.

The report from SPORT further claims that Barça had already watched him live in action last year and received positive reports and are continuing to track him.

Bardghji’s current contract with FC Copenhagen runs until 2025, meaning he will be entering the final year of his deal next summer. It makes him an enticing market opportunity for interested parties and it remains to be seen if Barcelona make a move.
