New summer signing set to arrive in Barcelona today – Romano

Transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Roony Bardghji is set to land in Barcelona today to complete his move to the Catalan club. 

The deal, valued at just over €2 million, was agreed weeks ago with FC Copenhagen, and the player has already completed the first phase of his medical.

Barcelona have acted quickly to secure the 19-year-old winger, widely regarded as one of the top young prospects in Europe. 

After completing part of his medical a few days ago, Bardghji is now one step away from becoming an official Barça player. 

His final medical checks will be conducted on Sunday, alongside the rest of the first-team squad.

Set to join Barça on Asia tour 

The club’s coaching and technical staff, led by manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, are reportedly eager to integrate Bardghji into the squad as soon as possible. 

In a show of confidence in his abilities, it was revealed a few days back that the Swedish talent is expected to be included in Barcelona’s pre-season tour of Asia.

The plan is to have Bardghji train with the first team during the tour, which will be a key step in his adaptation to top-level football at Barcelona. 

Flick and Deco both believe he has the tools to eventually become a regular in the senior setup.

However, there will be extra focus on Bardghji’s medical evaluation on Sunday. The winger suffered a serious ACL injury in May 2024 that kept him out for nearly a year. 

While the initial tests have gone well, the club wants to make sure he is fully ready for the physical demands of the new season.
