Roony Bardghji ecstatic after dream Barcelona transfer – ‘It’s unbelievable to be here’ | OneFootball

Roony Bardghji became the latest addition to FC Barcelona, arriving from FC Copenhagen earlier this week.

The teenage winger is already training with the first team but is expected to be a part of Barça Atletic setup once the campaign starts.

Bardghji has arrived in a deal worth around €2.5 million, signing a four-year contract until 2029.

The young winger spoke to the club’s media after his contract signing, where he admitted he is living a dream.

“I don’t have words to describe how I feel right now, I’m very, very happy, it’s a great day for me and my family, for everyone around me. It’s a dream I had, it’s unbelievable to be here, it’s a great thing,” he told the club’s media.

Bardghji becomes the fourth Swedish player to sign for Barcelona, following Patrik Andersson, Henrik Larsson, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He acknowledged the honour of following in their footsteps.

“We’ve all had this since I was very young, so it’s amazing to be here now. I mean, I’m not sure, but I think maybe 2 or 3 Swedish players have been here before, so maybe I’m the fourth one,” explained Bardghji.

“So, it’s a big thing, of course, yeah, like I said, for me and maybe for Sweden as well,” he added.

When asked to describe his playing style, the teenager said: “I would say I am a player who likes to have the ball. I always like to have the ball, to ask for it. I’m a player who makes his teammates play better around him.

“I like to use my teammates and, yes, like I said, have the ball with me, dribble, dribble and shoot,” said the Sweden international. “I would say I am a complete player,” he added.

Regarding his goals and ambitions, Bardghji said: “Collectively, of course, you know, the season the team had last year was incredible, and hopefully we can repeat that this year and go all the way in all competitions.

“On an individual level, of course, to gradually join the team and get some minutes, of course, and just show who I am and hopefully contribute with goals and assists, and just do my best to help the team and the club achieve its goals,” he concluded.
