FC Barcelona are working actively in the transfer market. The Catalan club have already announced the signing of talented Spanish shot-stopper Joan Garcia from Espanyol and look set to continue along the same lines.

Nico Williams is another name that is doing the rounds at Barcelona and it looks more likely than not that he will be a Barcelona player next summer. While the Spaniard would offer cover on the left, it looks like Barcelona might also be looking at a right-sided attacker.

Now, as per Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have made contact with FC Copenhagen to enquire about the deal conditions to sign talented teenage attacker Roony Bardghji, who has made quite a wave in recent seasons.

A superstar in the making

Since his early teenage years, the Swedish attacker has been talked about as a potential superstar in the future but his career is yet to hit the ground running. That said, there is no doubt that the 19-year-old possesses immense talent and is waiting to be nurtured.

Dubbed the Swedish Messi, the resemblance is uncanny. Almost exclusively left-footed, Bardghji loves cutting onto his favored foot from the right wing and unleash curlers into the far post. He is also an adept creator on the call.

While the stats might not yet justify the talent that he is, Bardghji is like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode in the right circumstances. Thus, Hansi Flick could be the perfect manager to bring the best out of him at Barcelona.

One concern though would be the presence of Lamine Yamal. The Spanish teenager is younger than Bardghji but is arguably the biggest talent in the world at the moment across positions and already has established himself as one of the very best in his position.

Thus, signing a player like Bardghji might not be a wise move by Barcelona at this stage of their development. It remains to be seen if the club still pursue a move for the teenager but at this point, it might just be exploratory interest. Let’s wait and see how things play out in the coming weeks.
