On paper, the profile cocked all the boxes: youth, talent, resale potential. Courted for several weeks by the management of Olympique de Marseille, this promising player had even started advanced discussions with the representatives of the Marseille club. But while negotiations seemed on the right rails, OM finally decided to withdraw from the file. A flip-flop motivated by very specific medical reserves.
The player in question is none other than Roony Bardghji, 18 -year -old Swedish winger playing at FC Copenhagen. Scandinavian revelation of the last two seasons, he has nevertheless seen his trajectory being slowed down by a rupture of the crossed ligaments which occurred in May 2023. A serious injury, which pushed Marseille to stop the discussions, scalded by the fragility of his knee. A prudent choice, but which could leave some regrets.
Because while OM reverse, FC Barcelona accelerates. According to information from Mundo DeportivoCatalan leaders met Bardghji’s agent on Thursday in Barcelona. The meeting was held in the presence of Deco, the sports director Blaugrana. And according to returns, the signals are green: Barça plans either to recover it free at the end of its contract next January, or to pay between 2 and 3 million euros to recruit it this summer.
Roony Bardghji: The poker blow that OM did not dare to play
A bet that could prove to be a winner. The Catalans, seduced by his technical profile and their ability to eliminate, ensure that they have studied the latest medical reports. They confirm that Bardghji is now completely restored. The prospect of a new offensive cracker wins all the more since the investment remains limited, especially for a club with tight finances.
With Bardghji, OM thought to smell a great deal. But today it is Barça that holds the rope. And as often with the Swedish prodigy, the trajectories change quickly. After having barely missed the velodrome, it may be at Camp Nou that he will make his magic speak.
