Uncertainty looms over the registration of a key Barcelona talent as financial fair play restrictions complicate the club’s efforts.
With only 7 days left before the deadline, the club is struggling to navigate wage cap limitations that could sideline this standout pre-season performer.
Positioned as a strong alternative on the right wing, the signing has shown immense potential, but Barcelona’s priority list for registrations places others ahead, complicating integration into the first team.
This highlights the ongoing economic pressures at the club, forcing tough decisions despite the player’s immediate impact.
The individual in question is Roony Bardghji, the 19-year-old Swedish winger signed from FC Copenhagen, as reported by Diario Sport.
Bardghji shone during pre-season, displaying skill in controlling the ball under pressure against Daegu FC and scoring against Vissel Kobe.
His performances have earmarked him as a deputy to Lamine Yamal, injecting creativity and pace into the attack.
However, his registration remains uncertain.
Even a reserve-team assignment wouldn’t ease the wage bill strain, as it still affects the cap. Barcelona is keen to retain him, appreciating his talent and adaptation, but solutions are elusive.
Bardghji’s recent appearance for Barça Atletic in a closed-doors friendly against Atletic Lleida, where he scored a panenka penalty, reaffirms his quality.
Yet, with UEFA Champions League experience under his belt, he’s hesitant to play in Spain’s fourth tier after Barça Atletic’s relegation to Segunda RFEF.
Several young prospects have already left for similar concerns over development stagnation.
A loan has been considered as an alternative, but Spanish federation rules require prior registration for any such move— a barrier seen before with Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Barcelona remains committed to resolving this, thrilled with Bardghji’s signing.
As the September 1, 2025, window closure approaches, failure to act could spark tension. The situation tests Hansi Flick’s squad-building under financial duress, with fans eager for a positive outcome.
