Barcelona faces a potential transfer window crisis after Roony Bardghji, the Swedish winger, left training with knee discomfort. Reports suggest the player may have suffered a serious injury that could scupper his expected exit from the club this summer. Barcelona, who finished the 2025 season as La Liga leaders with 94 points, 31 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses, now must re-evaluate their transfer plans.
What happened in training?
Roony Bardghji was unable to complete Monday's training session due to a knee issue. While definitive medical tests are still pending, initial examinations suggest a potential serious injury, even risking damage to the cruciate ligaments. Bardghji has previously suffered a similar injury that kept him sidelined for ten months.
Why does this matter for Barcelona?
The player was actively seeking an exit from the club, either through a loan or a transfer with a buy-back option. Teams like Valencia, currently ninth in the table, had shown interest in signing him. Competition in the wide positions, with players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, had already made Bardghji's departure a reasonable option for both parties. Now, a potential serious injury could completely change the scenario.
What's next for Barcelona?
The club has yet to confirm the extent of the injury, but concern is evident. If a serious injury is confirmed, Bardghji could miss the rest of the transfer window, forcing Barcelona to reconsider their options. The team's next match will be against Valencia on January 31, 2027, at home, which could be a key encounter to assess the squad's needs.
