Barcelona have completed a deal for exciting Swedish teenager Roony Bardghji.
The 19-year-old Kuwait-born winger joins the Spanish giants from FC Copenhagen and has signed until June 2029.
Bardghji joined Copenhagen from Malmo in 2020 and went on to play 84 games and score 15 goals for the Danish club.
He rose to prominence in the 2023-24 season, scoring a dramatic late Champions League winner against Manchester United in a 4-3 victory.
Bardghji subsequently suffered a serious knee injury that left him on the sidelines for nearly a year.
Barcelona said on the club website: “As a wide player, Bardghji is known for his one-on-one skills, his ability to dribble past opponents and his effectiveness in front of goal.
“His presence on the right wing can, therefore, make the difference and provide more dynamism.”
Later on Monday Barca confirmed the sale of midfielder Pablo Torre to fellow LaLiga team Mallorca.
A Barcelona club statement read: “Barcelona and RCD Mallorca have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Pablo Torre. The blaugranes retain a buy back option and percentage of any future sale of the midfielder. The Club wishes him all the best for the future on and off the field.”
