Bardghji completes Barcelona medical

As per Romano, Bardghji has completed the first part of his medical test at Barcelona, moving a step closer to joining the Catalans.

The Swedish talent is expected to join Barcelona on a €2 million deal from FC Copenhagen, which will be sealed soon.

Bardghji to travel to Asia

Barcelona, for their part, are planning to fast-track Bardghji’s integration to the team, which is why they are expected to bring the youngster to the pre-season trip to Asia.

Indeed, Romano adds that Bardghji will fly with the first team for the Asian tour, training with some notable members of the team.

This is a call taken by Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, both of whom highly believe in Bardghji’s potential to become a first-team asset.

However, it must be noted that Barcelona may not be able to complete the deal until next week, due to the formal documentation involved in the procedure.

Regardless of the timing of the deal, it will be interesting to see how Barcelona plan to integrate Bardghji into the setup and whether or not he is able to make an impression this summer.
