Barcelona is gearing up to make 2-3 new signings for Hansi Flick’s squad this summer, but some players are also expected to depart. Among those rumored to be leaving are Marc-André ter Stegen, Marc Casado, and Robert Lewandowski. Another potential departure could be Roony Bardghji.
This season has been puzzling for Bardghji, who arrived from FC Copenhagen last summer. He has only made 23 appearances, mostly as a substitute, but he has shown promise when given the chance. With Lamine Yamal ahead of him in the pecking order, securing a regular starting position has been challenging.

Given his limited playing time and his publicly expressed dissatisfaction regarding his playing time this season, Barcelona is contemplating his departure this summer. He has garnered significant interest from other clubs, and as reported by MD (via ED), Juventus is reportedly in the lead to sign him.
Additionally, FC Porto and AS Monaco are also keeping tabs on the Swedish international, while Real Betis is hoping to leverage their good relationship with Barcelona to secure a deal should Bardghji become available. They attempted to sign him last summer, but a transfer in 2026 seems more likely.
Barcelona Needs to Find a Replacement for Bardghji
Parting ways with Bardghji this summer could be a reasonable choice for Barcelona, especially considering his dissatisfaction with his current role. However, they must exercise caution to ensure they manage his future effectively, given his considerable potential to excel in the coming years.

That said, this move could pose a risk; Barcelona would need to secure a replacement. Lamine Yamal cannot be expected to play every minute of every match. Although Raphinha is primarily a right winger, he has not been nearly as effective on that side as he has been on the left.
