Preseason has started at Can Barça and, despite the start, the sporting management still has its priority in this market clear: signing a winger. Deco and his team are actively working to strengthen that position, which the coaching staff considers key. Two names remain highlighted on the culé agenda: Luis Díaz from Liverpool and Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.
Luis Díaz is the preferred option due to his explosiveness and ability to break through, while Rashford offers a versatility that could be very useful for Flick. However, in both cases, these are complex operations from a financial standpoint. Nevertheless, Barça is keeping up the effort with the intention of trying some creative formula that would allow it to finalize one of these signings.
A winger is a priority
This insistence on bringing in a winger is not a coincidence. Last season, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha endured an overwhelming workload in terms of minutes. The accumulation of matches put their physical and mental performance at risk, something the club wants to avoid at all costs this season.
Having a third winger would allow Lamine and Raphinha to be rotated, keep freshness in the attacking line, and reduce the risk of injuries. In addition, it would give the German coach more tactical resources to face a packed and demanding schedule in all competitions.
Barça has already made a signing
In this regard, Barça has already made a move with an unexpected addition. The club has made official the arrival of Roony Bardghji from FC Copenhagen. The young winger has signed with the blaugranas after standing out in the Danish Superliga, where he impressed with his dribbling, ability to link up with teammates, and defensive commitment.
Roony Bardghji arrives in Barcelona as a bet for the future, but also with the hope of earning a place from day one. At just 19 years old, he has the potential to become a real alternative for the flanks.
His future will be decided in preseason
According to El Nacional, it is not ruled out that he could stay with the first team if he manages to convince Hansi Flick during preseason. The coaching staff will evaluate his adaptation, his performance in training, and his ability to compete with the established wingers. If he doesn't manage to make the immediate leap, the most likely option is a loan to a LaLiga club to closely monitor his development.
