Barcelona Weigh Future of Roony Bardghji After Receiving Multiple Enquiries

Barcelona winger Rooney Bardghji

Key Takeaways:

  • Barcelona have received enquiries from Porto, Stuttgart, and AS Monaco for Roony Bardghji following his reduced game time in the second half of the season
  • The club value Bardghji’s low impact on their salary limit since his €2.5m move from Copenhagen and see him as a long-term prospect
  • Barcelona are more inclined towards a loan move rather than a permanent transfer, unless a significant offer arrives or greater transfer funds are needed

Transfer Window Focus Shifts to Bardghji’s Role

After their Champions League exit on Tuesday at the hands of Atletico Madrid, and with the La Liga title still a strong possibility, Barcelona’s attention has already turned to squad decisions ahead of the summer transfer window. President Joan Laporta has pledged that the club remain within their salary cap, hinting at a potentially active transfer period.

Questions surround the futures of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, and Marc Casado – with Casado highly likely to depart this year. Meanwhile, Barcelona have renewed talks with Inter as they pursue defender Alessandro Bastoni.

Uncertainty Surrounding Bardghji’s Position

According to Sport, Barcelona are currently considering the future of Roony Bardghji. The Swedish youngster impressed with solid performances earlier in the campaign, but his appearances have declined considerably in the latter part of the season. Bardghji himself voiced his frustrations over his lack of minutes during international duty in March.

Bardghji’s limited impact on the club’s wage bill, coupled with his ability to contribute when called upon – mainly as backup to Lamine Yamal – makes him a valuable asset to the club. Club management are eager for Bardghji to stay, confident in his potential to succeed at Barcelona, but it remains to be seen if he will accept a similar squad role again next season.

Interest from Abroad and Potential Transfer Scenarios

Barcelona now face the temptation of cashing in on Bardghji amid outside interest. Having signed him for €2.5m from Copenhagen, with a 20% sell-on clause, the Catalan side previously considered a loan for Bardghji last summer. This remains a viable option, but new developments reveal that Porto, Stuttgart, and AS Monaco have all lodged enquiries for the forward.

Should Bardghji favour a departure, Barcelona currently prefer a loan over a permanent deal, as the club still consider him a long-term investment. However, if a sizeable transfer bid is tabled, the scenario could change; Bardghji might be sacrificed to raise funds for other key targets. With Bardghji having played 616 minutes this season, Barcelona believe these minutes could be reallocated to Lamine Yamal, especially if rotation is reduced, should a sale be necessary to support other priorities.
