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

Sporting are reportedly interested in Roony Bardghji, a 20-year-old Swedish winger who has not had 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 the signing of Francisco Trincão by the Lions in 2022.

In that deal, the Portugal international arrived at Alvalade on loan, with Sporting paying three million euros and keeping 10% of the player’s rights. The agreement also included a mandatory purchase clause worth 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, as long as he can “maintain a certain degree of control over the player’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 competitors. 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 attentive to the situation.

Leeds United have also reportedly made enquiries 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.
