Barcelona will reportedly compete with Atletico Madrid in the race to secure the services of 18-year-old Swedish attacking sensation Roony Bardghji.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Roony Bardghji is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The FC Copenhagen wonderkid is also a target for Atletico Madrid for the 2025 summer transfer window. However, the Catalan giants want to usurp the competition to secure the services of the 18-year-old attacking sensation, who they view as a long-term replacement for Ferran Torres.
Roony Bardghji has seen his stock soar since his exploits in the UEFA Champions League last season. The teenage prodigy set the stage alight with his youthful exuberance, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Born in Kuwait, the 18-year-old was eligible to represent Sweden and Syria in international football and has picked the former as his national side. The youngster has been with FC Copenhagen since July 2020 and has come leaps and bounds at the Danish club in the last four years.
The Swedish youth international has turned out 78 times thus far for FC Copenhagen while chipping in with 15 goals and one assist. However, Bardghji will miss the rest of the year due to a long-term knee injury. Nevertheless, the teenage attacking sensation’s stock in the market remains high, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vying for his signature.
Atletico Madrid’s interest in Roony Bardghji is understandable. The Colchoneros do not have a natural right-sided attacker in the first-team squad. In addition, the Spanish giants have focused on a youth-driven project in the last few years, with Arthur Vermeeren arriving from Royal Antwerp earlier this year.
As for Barcelona, the Catalan giants are ready to part ways with Ferran Torres in the 2025 summer transfer window.
