Barcelona complete signing of highly-rated Swedish winger Roony Bardghji on four-year deal

Despite missing the majority of last season with an ACL injury, Bardghji made the transfer upon meeting with Barcelona sporting director Deco.

“Aged just 19 years old, this right winger is known for his skill, speed, and goalscoring ability, qualities that make him a great prospect for the future.”

The club added: “One of the most in-demand young players in Europe, his rise was temporarily curtailed due to a serious injury that left him on the sidelines for almost a year.

“Despite this setback and having now recovered, his quality has been on show since his return.”

Bardghji is a promising prospect, having registered 15 goals and one assist in 84 appearances in all competitions for Copenhagen.

That was one of 11 goals during that campaign, but his progress was interrupted by a cruciate ligament injury that saw him spend more than eight months on the sidelines.

He returned at the end of March, only to pick up another knock that ruled him out of the final four games of the season as Copenhagen secured the league title and Danish Cup.

The teenager is seen as a star of the future, with reports suggesting he will train with the Barcelona first team and play with the second team, although it is possible he will go on the club’s pre-season tour to Asia.
