Barcelona have been working tirelessly behind the scenes this summer, intent on broadening their squad ahead of another ambitious campaign under Hansi Flick.
After securing Joan Garcia and edging ever closer to completing the high-profile signing of Nico Williams, the Catalans are keeping up the momentum in the transfer market.
Financial Fair Play constraints are guiding their decisions, but that hasn’t stopped the club from eyeing both established stars and promising talents from around the world.
A key part of Deco’s recruitment strategy this summer has been identifying attainable deals—especially with young players who can make an impact now and develop further in the future.
Amid all that, a report from Fabrizio Romano confirms Barcelona have officially opened contact to explore the signing of Roony Bardghji, the highly rated 19-year-old Swedish winger presently plying his trade with FC Copenhagen.
This move comes after FC Porto lodged a bid for the impressive teenager a fortnight earlier, though Barcelona remain unfazed and view Roony Bardghji as a separate target from their main focus: Nico Williams.
Bardghji’s background is a captivating one.

Born in Kuwait to Syrian parents and ultimately raised in Sweden, he first caught attention at Malmo FF before joining Copenhagen, where he made his senior debut aged just 16.
The winger’s dribbling, direct style, and tactical nous have already drawn comparisons with Arjen Robben, marking him out as a future figure to watch.
Naturally, his contract situation makes him particularly appealing.
With his deal set to expire on 31 December and a current market valuation of around €7.5 million, Bardghji represents a low‑cost but high‑upside opportunity for Barcelona—and a suitable answer to their ambition to blend youth with ability.
There remains little to distract the club from their core goal: completing the Nico Williams transfer.
The Spain international winger is believed to have agreed terms for a six‑year deal.
Pressing financial targets means Barcelona must raise enough cash—and fast—to finalise that deal, while still keeping Bardghji’s move on course.
With the clock ticking, all eyes are now on how Barca balance ambition and pragmatism to land both a superstar in Williams and a promising talent in Bardghji.
