This summer, Barcelona has made significant upgrades to their squad, particularly in the winger positions.
With the arrivals of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, joining a talented lineup that features Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, the Catalans are well-equipped on both flanks.

This influx of talent impacts the future of Roony Bardghji, who was brought in last summer as Yamal’s backup.
After limited opportunities last season, it appears his playing time may further diminish in the upcoming campaign.
Considering an Exit
As reported by Fabrizio Romano earlier today, both Bardghji and Barcelona are exploring the possibility of a transfer as the window draws to a close. An agreement has been reached between the two parties.

The Swedish winger is seeking more playing time to aid his development, prompting his decision to leave the club.

Barcelona values his talent and plans to retain future rights, likely negotiating a sale that includes a buy-back clause, which they believe would be the best arrangement at this time. Meanwhile, Bardghji prefers a loan that keeps his connection to Catalonia intact.
Interest from the Eredivisie
Ajax has emerged as a notable interested party in Bardghji in recent weeks, although their interest depends on certain conditions.

PSG is actively pursuing Ajax winger Mika Godts this summer, with negotiations ongoing.

Should Godts move to the reigning UEFA Champions League holders, Ajax may consider Bardghji as a potential replacement.
Despite impressing Hansi Flick during pre-season and making a strong case for staying at the club, the competition from new arrivals complicates his chances for regular playing time.
With just over three weeks remaining in the transfer window, Barcelona is eager to expedite player departures, having made little progress thus far this summer.
