Sunderland is showing serious ambition by preparing a €15m bid for a high-profile Barcelona outcast looking for a fresh start.
The 20-year-old has struggled to secure regular playing time under Hansi Flick as Lamine Yamal’s position at the club has become firmly established, leaving the young attacker with limited opportunities in the first team.
Barcelona has indicated they are open to a permanent sale to create space in their squad, though the player has expressed a preference for a loan move to gain regular first-team football.
In a major development, Sunderland plot a €15 million bid for Barcelona outcast Roony Bardghji, with the Championship club monitoring the situation closely, according to Fichajes.
Sunderland sees this as an opportunity to secure a highly-rated young talent who can immediately strengthen their attacking options as they push for promotion.
Bardghji continues to attract strong interest across Europe despite his limited minutes at Barça, with six Premier League clubs having inquired about the attacker’s situation ahead of next season.
The clubs reportedly monitoring Bardghji include Aston Villa, Sunderland, and Brentford, each offering the Swedish winger the chance to play regularly in one of the world’s most competitive leagues.
Earlier in 2026, reports linked Liverpool with offers of up to €50 million, while some reports in May suggested that a fee of €10 million could be sufficient for a transfer.
Barcelona are prepared to let the winger leave this summer to create space in their squad, and the Catalan club is open to a permanent sale despite the player’s preference for a loan move.
Sunderland’s €15 million bid represents a serious attempt to secure a player who has generated significant interest from multiple top-flight English clubs.
The Black Cats view this as an opportunity to bring in a talented young winger who could become a key player in their promotion push.
