Barcelona have announced their second signing of the ongoing summer transfer window after they acquired goalkeeper Joan Garcia's signature from Espanyol in June.
The Catalan club had an impressive run in the 2024/25 season, winning the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de Espana.
Now, with the new campaign approaching, Barcelona have signed Roony Bardghji from Copenhagen on a four-year contract valid until the summer of 2029, for an initial fee of around €2 million ($2.35m).
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bardghji's deal was agreed two weeks ago and includes a sell-on clause.
Bardghji arrived at Barcelona over the weekend and met his new teammates for the first time on Sunday, as per ESPN. The 19-year-old's contract with the La Liga giants also includes performance-related add-ons.
The aforementioned report also stated that Barcelona got a good bargain for Bardghji from Copenhagen as the winger's contract at the Danish side was set to expire in December.
