Wonderkid chooses Barcelona over FC PortoCopenhagen secure 15% future resale clauseMedical pending as winger recovers from injuryFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?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.AdvertisementTHE BIGGER PICTURE
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.
DID YOU KNOW?
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.
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR BARDGHJI?
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.
