Leeds and Premier League clubs eye Barcelona's Roony Bardghji
Barcelona is open to selling 20-year-old winger Roony Bardghji, while the player prefers a loan move. Leeds United leads the interest.
This summer, Barcelona is prepared to part ways with one of its brightest young talents, Roony Bardghji. The Spanish giant is open to a permanent sale of the 20-year-old Swedish forward, drawing significant attention from the English Premier League, with Leeds United leading the pursuit.
The Swedish winger arrived at Camp Nou last summer, but his debut season in Spain proved challenging. Due to fierce competition in the attack under Hansi Flick, the youngster recorded only 633 minutes of playing time in La Liga.
The situation is complicated by differing objectives for the player's future. Reports indicate that Bardghji would prefer a loan move to ensure consistent playing time while keeping the door open for a return to Catalonia. However, the club needs to generate funds and clear squad spots for their ambitious summer rebuilding project.
This presents a major opportunity for Leeds United. The Yorkshire club has long admired Bardghji's potential since his days in Denmark and views him as a key addition to their attack. Competition for his signature is expected to be intense, with Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Everton, and Sunderland also monitoring the situation.
