New recruit of FC Barcelona expected to make an appearance and formalize contract on Friday
Roony Bardghji, a 19-year-old prodigy of Moroccan descent, is set to join FC Barcelona, one of the world's most prestigious football clubs. The official signing ceremony will take place on July 11, 2025, following Bardghji's arrival in the Catalan capital on the same day.
Bardghji, who has Champions League experience, will be signing from Copenhagen for a transfer fee of approximately €2 million, plus some variables. The agreement was finalised weeks prior, and the young talent has already completed his medical exams, ensuring a smooth transition to his new team.
The signing of Bardghji comes as Ter Stegen, the current FC Barcelona goalkeeper, is reportedly not part of Hansi Flick's first team plans for the upcoming season, following the signing of Joan Garcia from Espanyol.
Bardghji's potential debut for FC Barcelona's senior side could occur during preseason training or friendly tours. He will have the opportunity to impress Flick, who has recently arrived at the club's training facility and is said to be holding talks with Marc-Andre ter Stegen about his future.
Bardghji's primary position is on the right wing, but he could potentially compete with Raphinha for minutes if FC Barcelona signs a left winger. If a left winger like Luis Diaz or Marcus Rashford is signed, Bardghji could compete for minutes on the right wing.
However, Bardghji's chances of playing time could be influenced by FC Barcelona's transfer market activity. If no left winger is signed, Bardghji could see more minutes if Lamine Yamal needs a rest or if he stays in the first team squad.
Despite suffering a serious ACL injury in his right knee in 2024, Bardghji is said to be fully recovered now. Barcelona has great confidence in his potential, and they believe he will make a significant contribution to the team in the upcoming season.
Bardghji's journey back to the football scene has been swift, as he had not long been back in the picture for his soon-to-be former club. FC Barcelona's other transfer market moves could impact Bardghji's playing time, but the young talent is eager to prove himself on the world stage.
