Real Sociedad nears loan move for Barcelona star

A Barcelona star is on the verge of joining Real Sociedad on loan, with the deal reaching an advanced stage.

The Blaugrana are keen to ensure the player steps into a competitive environment where he can play regularly, and a growing number of suitors have aligned their offers around that condition.

Among them, one La Liga outfit has taken a clear lead, opening direct talks with Barcelona’s sporting staff and preparing a role that would give the youngster a defined place in the matchday squad rather than just squad‑number status.

The Barcelona star in question is Roony Bardghji, the 20‑year‑old Swedish winger whose arrival at Camp Nou from FC Copenhagen was initially met with fanfare but who has since found himself on the fringes of Hansi Flick’s plans, as reported by Fichajes.

Bardghji’s toolkit includes pace, close‑control dribbling, and a direct style well suited to the wide areas, but injuries, fitness pacing, and the depth ahead of him in the attacking line‑up have limited his involvement.

Barcelona views another season of minimal first‑team football as a risk to his development, and the club is therefore willing to sanction a temporary move that keeps him in a top‑level league while still under their long‑term contract.

Real Sociedad is now the closest to a deal, with Anoeta framed as the ideal environment for a young talent to mature.

The Basque club has a strong track record of integrating and developing promising attackers, and they see Bardghji as someone who can either rotate on the wings or even challenge for a starting spot depending on his adaptation and fitness.

If the agreement is finalised, Bardghji’s temporary switch to Real Sociedad could become one of the more low‑key but meaningful moves of Barcelona’s summer rebuild phase.
