Barcelona’s Ronnie Bardji Facing Loan Exit After Underwhelming Joan Gamper Trophy Display
Barcelona’s 5-0 victory over Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy offered a confidence boost ahead of the new season, but not all performances impressed.
Young winger Ronnie Bardji, once hailed for his technical skill and powerful shot after a €2 million move, failed to make an impact and has struggled throughout pre-season. With Lamine Yamal emerging as a stronger starting option, Bardji now faces the prospect of losing his place in the senior squad.
Coach Hans-Dieter Flick has publicly voiced disappointment in the 20-year-old’s recent form, suggesting a loan move could be the best route for his development. According to local reports, Barcelona may look to place Bardji with another La Liga club before the transfer window closes, giving him a chance to rebuild confidence in a less pressurised environment.
The next few weeks will determine whether Bardji remains part of Flick’s plans or begins the season away from Camp Nou
