Barcelona new signing has already won over Hansi Flick and the coaching staff

Barcelona’s second official signing of the season did not arrive with half as much hype as the first, which was Joan Garcia.

After all, Roony Bardghji was signed as a young prodigy for the subsidiary team, and it was unclear to what extent he would prove his worth and seal a place in Hansi Flick’s side.

Despite arriving for just €2 million, there has never been any doubt over the quality of the Swedish international, and he has always been one to be seen as a serious talent in the sport.

The question, however, was over his readiness to perform at the highest level in Europe in just his first season at Barcelona.

Mundo Deportivo now provides an update on the new signing and the impression he has generated in his first few days at Barcelona training under Hansi Flick.

A positive test

As relayed by the Spanish outlet, Bardghji has convinced Flick and his staff through his dedication and quality in training, and the initial impression he has left could not have been better.

The young right-winger has truly impressed the coaching staff and has put a strong foot forward towards earning a place in the first team, something Flick and Co. feel he is ready for right from his opening days in pre-season.

Barcelona’s pre-season tour in Asia is set to kick off on 24th July, and Bardghji will undoubtedly be on the plane with Flick for the campaign.

His performance on tour, largely, will be what decides his role and prominence under Flick.

Should the new signing do enough to earn a spot, he will likely serve as a backup to Lamine Yamal in the first team.

After all, the Ballon d’Or contender was overloaded with minutes last season, and the manager sees a real need to have a rotational player in the department.
