Why Leeds United may have green light to complete Roony Bardghji transfer
Leeds United could now have the perfect chance to sign Roony Bardghji.
The Sweden international has long been linked with a move to Elland Road without ever sealing a deal.
There was interest last summer, but the 20-year-old ultimately joined Barcelona from Copenhagen.
Things haven't really worked out at Camp Nou after featuring in just seven LaLiga starts.
He still managed to rack up six goal involvements in all competitions as the Catalan giants won their 29th league title.
That could make way for Bardghji to leave this summer as the door opens for Leeds to get their man.
Barcelona set to force Roony Bardghji out
There was an element of surprise when the winger moved to Catalunya last summer.
Injuries had damaged the latter stages of his time in Denmark and it felt as if he had to make the right move for his career.
His status as a bright prospect looked to benefit him as he joined Barcelona for around £1.7million.
Just 12 months later, Bardghji could be on his way out as Hansi Flick eyes a move for Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi.
Florian Plettenberg reported on Thursday that the head coach has already spoken to the Germany international to convince him of a Camp Nou move.
Negotiations are now underway for the 24-year-old, in a move that looks set to mean bad news for the Swede.
The Sky Sports Germany reporter has suggested that he is now a candidate to leave Barca this summer.
That could see Leeds step up their interest in an effort to finally land Bardghji.
Where would Bardghji fit in at Leeds United?
The 2005-born ace predominantly features off the right and likes to cut in onto his stronger left foot.
He could prove to be a useful asset under Daniel Farke as one of the two number 10s behind a central striker.
Bardghji could come in to join Harry Wilson after his move from Fulham was sealed on Wednesday.
The two could give the Whites a complete fresh look and provide a point of difference compared to last season.
The Barcelona man is known for his creative talents and ability on the ball.
He has formerly been described as a "ray of light" by Sweden teammate Alexander Isak, and he could be exactly that for Leeds moving forward.
