Roony Bardghji: ‘My dream is to win every title with Barcelona’ Roony Bardghji joined Barcelona last summer for a fee of €2 million, marking one of the club’s key signings in the transfer window. The forward, who hails from Sweden, was seen as a promising talent coming out of the country’s youth system. Despite his arrival, Bardghji has yet to make a significant impact in La Liga this season, appearing in just over 500 minutes of action. However, the 22-year-old remains optimistic about his future with the club, expressing his admiration for Barcelona in a recent interview with SPORT. Bardghji’s connection to Barcelona dates back to his childhood, shaped by his father’s deep affection for the club and its legendary player, Lionel Messi. Born in Kuwait to a Syrian family, Bardghji recalled how his father, a lifelong Barcelona fan, introduced him to the club’s matches from an early age. “I think it’s because of my father. Years before I was born, he started following Barcelona, and when Messi arrived, he fell in love with him. And when I was born, he always made me watch Messi and Barcelona’s matches,” he explained. The family’s move to Sweden, where Bardghji spent his formative years, was a challenging transition. His parents relocated with two young children, lacking a support network in a new country. His mother, Rola, described the difficulties of starting over, but emphasized the family’s unwavering belief in their son’s footballing potential. “My father always dreamed that my brother and I would play football, and there are more opportunities in Europe than in the Middle East. That was another reason why we moved as well,” Bardghji added. Throughout his youth career, Bardghji developed through the academies of Copenhagen, Malmo, and Rodeby before securing his breakthrough at Barcelona.#sport #barcelona #lionel_messi #roony_bardghji #copenhagen
