Roony Bardghji Headed Out as Barcelona Set New Squad Plans

Pre‑Season Return Ends Immediately

Roony Bardghji arrived at FC Barcelona’s pre‑season training camp, but his stay is already set to be brief. Hansi Flick has already informed the 20‑year‑old winger that he is not part of the club’s plans for the 2026/27 campaign. The Swedish talent reported for duty alongside his teammates, yet the message from the manager leaves no doubt: a departure is expected soon.

Barcelona’s recent summer signings, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, have only intensified the shift in strategy. The arrivals add extra competition in the wide attacking slots, reinforcing the club’s decision to move on from Bardghji. The Catalans believe that a move elsewhere will give him the regular playing time he needs to develop.

Waiting for the Right Offer

Barcelona had hoped to finalize Bardghji’s status before the pre‑season camp began, but the situation remains unresolved. The club is still looking for a proposal that satisfies both the player and the board, according to a report by SPORT. While the Spaniard side prefers a permanent transfer, Bardghji is holding out for a loan that would keep a foot in the Catalan world he loves.

The player paid around €2.5 million when he moved from Copenhagen last summer, yet he has yet to deliver the breakthrough many expected. In his first season, he featured in 28 matches, scoring two goals and contributing four assists. Much of that campaign was spent behind Lamine Yamal in the pecking order, and even when opportunities arose, Flick often opted for Marcus Rashford instead.

Wanted Across Europe

Interest in Bardghji is spreading across the continent. Borussia Dortmund have expressed interest while negotiating Karim Adeyemi’s move to Barcelona, viewing the winger as a potential replacement for the departing German talent. Other clubs, including newly‑promoted La Liga side Deportivo La Coruña, have been linked with a loan deal, though that option currently appears unlikely.

Bardghji is also attracting attention from clubs in the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1, with a particularly strong reputation in England. The widespread allure highlights his potential impact wherever he lands, even if Barcelona’s immediate plans no longer include him.

Finding the Right Deal

The main sticking point revolves around the type of agreement. Barcelona would like a permanent transfer, possibly with a buy‑back clause to retain some future influence if Bardghji meets his potential. The player, however, prefers a loan move, hoping to stay connected to the club he has dreamed of representing.

Despite their differing wishes, both parties agree that the winger needs regular football to progress. At just 20, Bardghji understands that leaving this summer offers the best platform for his development, even if his long‑term future with Barcelona remains open. The club hopes to settle the matter before departing for its pre‑season camp in England, but neither Flick nor the sporting department intend to rush the decision.
