Offer accepted! Barcelona close in on €2.5m winger labelled 'Swedish Lionel Messi' to beat Porto to Roony Bardghji signing

The 19-year-old right winger is set to leave Denmark for Spain, with FC Copenhagen accepting a €2.5 million (£2.11m/$2.86m) offer from Barca, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The young Danish starlet, whose contract expires in six months, had also received a matching offer from FC Porto but chose Barca as his preferred destination.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona are advancing and closing in on deal to sign Roony Bardghji from Copenhagen!<br><br>Agreement at final stages with the last details expected to be sorted in the upcoming days.<br><br>The Swedish winger can join Barça from July. 🇸🇪 <a href="https://t.co/1y7A0ytIh0">pic.twitter.com/1y7A0ytIh0</a></p>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1937047722701275263?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 23, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After snapping up Joan Garcia and pushing to sign Nico Williams, Barca are doubling down on young talent despite ongoing financial constraints. Bardghji, a long-time admirer of the Catalan giants, fits the club’s long-term vision: creative, marketable, and full of promise. Barca fended off competition from Porto, who matched their €2.5m (£2.11m/$2.86m) offer, but the Swedish winger made it clear he only wanted Camp Nou. For Copenhagen, it’s a bittersweet exit, softened by a 15% resale clause in the deal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Born in Kuwait, Bardghji scored the winner against Manchester United in the Champions League group stages last season. He is set to become one of the few Swedish players to move directly to the Camp Nou. The winger supported Barca as a child and reportedly turned down contract renewal talks with Copenhagen.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The final step remains Bardghji's medical, which is pending and comes after a significant spell on the sidelines with a serious knee injury last season. Once passed, he’s expected to join the Blaugrana outfit in July and integrate gradually into the squad under Hansi Flick, potentially via Barca Atletic.</p>
