BREAKING: FC Barcelona Sign Swedish Prodigy Roony Bardghji from F.C. Copenhagen
Barcelona, June 29, 2025 — FC Barcelona have officially reached an agreement with F.C. Copenhagen for the transfer of 19-year-old Swedish winger Roony Bardghji, in a deal worth €2.5 million. The transfer includes a 15% sell-on clause, ensuring Copenhagen receives a portion of any future transfer fee should Bardghji move on from Barcelona.
This acquisition represents another strategic step by the Catalan giants in their mission to rejuvenate the squad with young, high-upside talent as part of a sustainable rebuild under president Joan Laporta and manager Xavi Hernández.
A Rising Star from Scandinavia
Bardghji has been on the radar of top European clubs thanks to his standout performances for Copenhagen, combining explosive pace, tight ball control, and a natural flair in the final third. With 12 goals and several assists across all competitions last season, the teenager was one of the breakout stars in Denmark’s Superliga.
Despite a matching offer from FC Porto, Bardghji rejected the Portuguese club in favor of Barcelona — signaling his clear intent to join La Liga’s most storied institution. Sources close to the player describe the decision as rooted in his admiration for Barça’s playing philosophy and developmental pathway through La Masia.
Barça’s Long-Term Strategy
For Barcelona, Bardghji is viewed as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition. The club sees him as a potential successor in the winger role — one who can thrive in the same mold as Ansu Fati, Lamine Yamal, or even historic figures like Pedro and Neymar.
This transfer comes amid Barcelona’s broader push to rebuild through youth, leveraging strategic deals with long-term upside instead of costly, immediate-impact signings. The relatively modest transfer fee — in modern market terms — reflects smart business in an era of tighter financial oversight.
A Boost for Copenhagen
For F.C. Copenhagen, the deal is both a financial win and a validation of their development model. The sell-on clause could bring significant returns in the future if Bardghji fulfills his vast potential and earns a big-money move down the line.
What’s Next?
Bardghji is expected to begin preseason with Barcelona Atlètic but could be fast-tracked into the first-team training group depending on his adaptation. Xavi reportedly views the winger as a long-term asset and appreciates his creativity and maturity on the ball.
Fans are already buzzing about the teenager’s arrival, with many comparing his potential impact to previous La Masia graduates who blossomed into global stars.
