Barcelona already receiving loan approaches for soon-to-be new signing – report

Barcelona have secured the services of one of the brightest young talents in European football: Roony Bardghji.

The La Liga champions will pay FC Copenhagen €2 million fixed, plus add-ons, to sign the 19-year-old winger, who will sign a long-term contract with the club.

Mallorca among clubs wanting Bardghji on loan

However, even before Barcelona have made Bardghji’s signing from Copenhagen official, several clubs have already called them about loaning the promising Swedish winger.

Indeed, according to COPE Mallorca (h/t SPORT), one of the first clubs to express interest in the 19-year-old winger are Barça’s La Liga rivals RCD Mallorca.

The Spanish outfit, managed by Jagoba Arrasate, is keen on a season-long loan deal for Bardghji this summer.

It must be remembered that Mallorca are already in talks with Barcelona over loaning fringe midfielder Pablo Torre and seem to be keen on taking Bardghji along as well.

No immediate decision

As far as Barcelona are concerned, the initial plan is for Bardghji to split time between the first team and Barça Atletic in his debut season. However, they are not ruling out options that could accelerate his development – including the possibility of a one-year loan.

The Blaugrana are in no rush to decide the winger’s immediate future. They want him to first go through pre-season under Hansi Flick, who will assess his abilities firsthand.

If the German manager opts to keep him close, the most likely scenario is that Bardghji trains with the senior squad and plays matches with Barça Atletic – helping in their push to return to Primera RFEF.

Barça managed to beat several European giants to sign Bardghji and now aim to maximize his potential. They, in due time, will decide whether the best way to achieve that is for him to remain at the club or go out on loan.
