Barcelona open talks to sign Roony Bardghji with Marseille and Porto also interested | OneFootball

Barcelona have opened discussions with Roony Bardghji’s representatives, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Several European clubs are eyeing the 19-year-old attacker. Primeira Liga giants FC Porto tabled an offer two weeks ago. Marseille are also interested in him.

Barcelona want to understand the terms of a possible deal for the Swedish youth international.

Bardghji burst onto the scene with Copenhagen, helping them win three Danish Superliga titles and two domestic cups.

However, his progress stalled during the 2023/24 campaign due to a knee injury that sidelined him for much of the season.

Despite the setback, his raw talent remains undeniable. His age and ceiling make him a shrewd market opportunity for clubs planning for the future.

Bardghji’s name has been on the transfer radar for some time, but interest ramped up because his current contract is set to expire on December 31.

The contractual situation has alerted suitors across Europe, and Barcelona reportedly see the winger as a valuable long-term asset.

Barcelona’s interest in Bardghji is surprising, considering they already have La Masia prodigy Lamine Yamal covering the right wing.

Raphinha, who operates on the left, is also a natural right-winger, adding more depth to the position.

With the club inching closer to signing Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, it is difficult to see where Bardghji fits in.

Barcelona may consider signing the winger and loaning him out for game time before selling him for a profit.

Their tight financial situation means they need to consider all options to bolster their coffers.
