Benfica made an enquiry to Barcelona about Bardghji, but a serious injury to the winger halted any progress.

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica contacted the Catalans to gauge their willingness to negotiate for the 20-year-old Sweden international. Talks soon lost momentum.

Bardghji sustained a partial ligament tear and is expected to be out for several months, with a return pencilled in around March. That timeframe naturally cooled interest.

Given the severity and the long recovery ahead, Benfica chose not to advance discussions. The club had been exploring a possible market opportunity, but the player's condition has paused matters for now.

The injury changed the context of the pursuit and prevented initial interest from becoming a concrete move. There are currently no negotiations between Benfica and Barcelona regarding Bardghji.
