Barcelona Respond After Roony Bardghji Says He Deserves More Minutes
Barcelona see the 20-year-old as a long-term project behind Lamine Yamal.
Overview
- Roony Bardghji, who spoke to Sweden’s public TV on Thursday during the international break, said he deserves more playing time and is not fully happy.
- Club officials, per Sport reporting cited by Football España on Friday, say his rotation role was clear on arrival and point to Lamine Yamal blocking his path on the right wing.
- The winger has featured in about 22 games mostly as a substitute, playing roughly 615 minutes and producing two goals and four assists.
- Hansi Flick kept him in January despite interest from FC Porto and other clubs, and new reports link his remarks to renewed talk of a summer loan or sale if Barcelona add another wide attacker.
- Outlets frame the fallout differently, with Goal and Football España noting early signs of friction under Flick and Yahoo underscoring Bardghji’s respect for teammates and stated commitment to the club.
