Hansi Flick is starting to make moves and not all of Barcelona's young players have their future secured. Among them is Roony Bardghji, one of the greatest prospects in European soccer. The German coach is seriously considering loaning out the striker so he can get playing time in the Spanish league. The goal would be for him to gain experience and arrive more prepared for the elite, although it's not clear if he'll have a place in the first team next season.
At Barça, they know Bardghji has enormous potential, but the competition in his position is fierce. Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres take up most of the minutes on the wings, and the arrival of another attacking reinforcement in the summer could close the door for him even more. That's why Flick believes the best thing for the youngster is to go out on loan, even if it's just for one season, so his progression isn't stalled.
Roony Bardghji doesn't want to give up on his dream. He has always declared himself a culé since he was a child. Since he was little, he has followed Barcelona and his dream is to succeed at Camp Nou. He knows the blaugrana jersey carries weight, but he also knows there's no better stage to show his talent. Although he's open to going out on loan to get more playing time, his priority is to stay linked to Barça in the medium and long term.
Looking for a team in Spain
If his departure does happen, the most likely destination would be another club in the Spanish league. Flick believes adapting to the local play style would be key for his development and that way, when he returns, he'll be completely ready for the pace. The aim is for him to learn the demands that Barcelona require. In addition, playing in Spain would allow him to stay under the technical staff's radar and keep close track of his performance.
The situation, however, is at a boiling point. There are interested clubs and the market is moving quickly. Mid-table teams and some with European ambitions have already inquired about him, aware that they could add a game-changing player without paying a transfer fee, only covering his salary. For them, it would be a market coup and for Barça, a bet on the future.
Lamine sees him as an ideal partner
What is clear is that Hansi Flick doesn't want Bardghji sitting on the bench watching matches go by. The idea is clear: minutes or a loan. If internal competition closes the door for him, leaving will be inevitable. The player knows it and, even though it's hard for him, he's willing to take the step if it means returning to Camp Nou stronger and with a guaranteed spot.
The Swedish player dreams of succeeding at Barcelona and hopes to convince Hansi in these days. For that, he has a great role model. Lamine Yamal is Roony's best partner these days and someone who believes his talent can take him far. Barça's great star thinks his play style is ideal for players like Roony.
