Real Madrid are reportedly keen on securing the services of 18-year-old FC Copenhagen attacker Roony Bardghji, a target for Chelsea.
According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on Roony Bardghji. But the West London club will face stiff competition from Real Madrid for the signature of the highly-rated 18-year-old forward.
The attacker has 11 goals to his name across all competitions this season, and he could prove to be a quality long-term investment for both clubs. It is no secret that Chelsea need to bring in attacking reinforcements, and the 18-year-old has emerged as a viable target.
Although he might not be ready for the Premier League yet, he has the potential to develop into a key player with the right guidance. Mauricio Pochettino could nurture him into a quality first-team player for Chelsea.
The opportunity to move to Stamford Bridge will be an attractive option for the player as well, and he is likely to be tempted to get the deal done. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to sign for them can be hard to turn down for any player.
The Spanish giants will feel that the 18-year-old could be a quality long-term investment for them, and they will want to snap him up. Los Blancos will be able to provide him with Champions League football, and the platform to compete at the highest level. That could give them an edge in the transfer race.
Chelsea finished last season in the lower mid-table positions and have failed to secure Champions League qualification. They have made a poor start to the current season by their standards as well and could easily miss out on Champions League qualification once again.
The 18-year-old could be tempted to join Real Madrid, who have a proven track record of competing for major trophies every year. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. There is no doubt that both clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen where the 18-year-old ends up eventually.
