Sporting join race for Roony Bardghji, with FC Porto in pursuit | OneFootball

Sporting are interested in Roony Bardghji, a 20-year-old Swedish winger who does not have much room in Hans-Dieter Flick’s plans at Barcelona, mainly due to the strong competition from Lamine Yamal.

According to Sport, Frederico Varandas’ board is studying a proposal that would allow the Catalans to retain part of the player’s economic rights. The model would be similar to the one used in Sporting’s signing of Francisco Trincão in 2022.

In that deal, the Portugal international arrived at Alvalade on loan for a fee of three million euros, with Sporting taking 10% of his registration rights. The agreement also included a mandatory purchase clause of seven million euros, which would allow the club to increase its share to 50%.

Later, the green-and-white club paid another 11 million euros for the forward. In this way, the total investment rose to 21 million euros, and Barcelona’s buy-back clause, valued at between 20 and 25 million euros, was also rendered void.

Joan Laporta is said to be open to repeating a similar formula, provided he can “maintain a certain degree of control over the footballer’s future”. At Camp Nou, they believe Bardghji has the quality to succeed at the highest level.

The Spanish publication notes, however, that the Lions face several rivals. One of them is FC Porto, who about a year ago tried to sign the Kuwait-born player on loan. The move was unsuccessful, but the Dragons remain alert to the situation.

Leeds United are also said to have inquired about the conditions required to secure the Swede. Marseille are likewise monitoring the case, given the possibility of Mason Greenwood leaving the French club to join Fenerbahçe in a transfer valued at around 40 million euros.
