  WHAT HAPPENED?

  According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Barca have made direct contact with Bardghji's representatives ahead of a potential transfer swoop. Porto reportedly submitted a bid for the young Swede a fortnight ago, but the Liga champions are also keen on the teenager.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Having burst onto the scene in 2021, becoming Copenhagen's youngest-ever player at the age of 16, Bardghji has been a consistent performer both domestically and in the Champions League. In Europe, he has led his team to some famous victories, including a 4-3 comeback win against Manchester United in 2023.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  At just 19 years of age, Bardghji already has three Danish Superliga titles to his name, as well as two Danish Cups. His hugely promising start to life at Copenhagen was derailed last season as he spent most of the campaign sidelined with a knee injury, but that hasn't stopped a range of top European clubs — including Ligue 1 outfit Marseille — eyeing up a potential transfer.

  WHAT NEXT FOR BARDGHJI?

  Bardghji's current Copenhagen contract runs out in December 2025, and he has supposedly told the club he will not be penning a new deal. As a result, suitors could choose to wait it out and snap him up for no fee in January. However, Barcelona — who, as ever, are currently negotiating numerous incomings and outgoings — seem keen to get the deal done over the summer if possible.
