Barcelona reach agreement for teenage winger that shocked Man United

Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement on terms to sign a young Swedish talent.

President Joan Laporta announced that Barcelona had returned to financial normalcy after years of being in the deficit, and their activity in the past few weeks lends credence to this claim.

Unlike recent windows, Barcelona have been proactive this summer. They have signed a new first-choice goalkeeper in Joan Garcia, have reached an agreement on verbal terms for Nico Williams, and are now reportedly close to another signing, Roony Bardghji.

According to multiple sources, including the reliable Fabrizio Romano, the Blaugrana have reached an agreement with Danish side Copenhagen for the transfer of 19-year-old Bardghji.

Per the reports, Barcelona will pay around €2 million, including add-ons for his services, and Copenhagen will retain a 15% sell-on clause on any future sale.

Bardghi is of Syrian descent, was born in Kuwait City, and holds a Swedish passport. He currently represents the Sweden U-21s. Playing as a winger or attacking midfielder, the teenager is one of the highly rated talents in the world.

He announced himself on the world stage in the 2023/24 Champions League campaign, in which he scored a brilliant winner as Copenhagen shocked Manchester United in a seven-goal thriller.

This imminent transfer has been reported in many circles as one of the bargains of recent times, as the transfer fee is not at all commensurate with his quality. He is going for as low as the quoted fee because his contract expires at the end of the year. 

Also, he has had his struggles with injuries. Two seasons ago, he tore his ACL, which took him out of action for nearly a year. He is also currently injured and is not expected to return to fitness until the end of the month.
