According to a report from SPORT, it has come to light that Barcelona forward Roony Bardghji is ready to leave the club this summer in search of regular first-team football.
The Swedish talent only arrived at Barcelona last year, fully aware that breaking into the team would be a difficult task given the presence of Lamine Yamal and the competition in the attacking department.
However, after a season spent largely on the fringes of the squad, Bardghji now appears eager to find a solution that will allow him to play more consistently.
Wants to leave Barcelona
According to the outlet, the player has already informed his agent that he is open to leaving, and discussions have begun with Barcelona’s sporting management regarding the best path forward.

At this stage, Bardghji’s preferred option is a loan move because the winger wants an opportunity to gain valuable experience elsewhere before potentially returning to fight for a place at Spotify Camp Nou in the future.
Whether Barcelona agree to that plan remains uncertain, as the club must decide if a temporary departure or a permanent transfer would be more beneficial.
Even if Barcelona eventually choose to sell the player, the report suggests the club would seek to maintain some level of control over his future through a buy-back option or similar mechanism.
A tough season for the youngster
The main reason behind the player’s decision is easy to understand when looking at his first season in Catalonia.

Bardghji featured in 28 matches across all competitions but found opportunities difficult to come by.
He accumulated just 872 minutes of football throughout the campaign, making him one of the least-used attacking players under Hansi Flick.
His contribution included two goals, one in La Liga and another in the Spanish Super Cup, but those moments were not enough to secure a more prominent role in the squad.
Ultimately, the frustration of limited playing time was compounded by another setback when he missed out on Sweden’s World Cup squad after previously being involved in national team selections.
