Chelsea have invested a lot of money in signing quality young players from around the globe over the last few years, but it doesn’t appear that they will stop that anytime soon. The Blues have recently been linked to a move for FC Copenhagen winger Roony Bardghji but could face competition in this race.

However, the journalist adds that Barcelona and Juventus are also scouting the 18-year-old winger and are ready to compete with the Premier League side. Romano claims that Bardghji is a player that Chelsea knows really well and that there is a lot of interest in signing him next year.
It is also stated that the winger will be “out of contract in 2025”, and that he recently signed with new agents. Romano further adds that although no club is actively negotiating to sign him anytime right now, the situation over the Swedish youngster could be one to watch in 2024.

Why Is Bardghji Attracting So Much Attention?
The teenager has been one of Copenhagen’s best players this season and has been producing some really impressive numbers in terms of his goal contributions. Bardghji has scored seven goals for the Danish side in their domestic league, and has shown versatility in being able to operate on the right wing or in an attacking midfield area as well.
The 18-year-old had his breakout moment of the campaign in the Champions League match against Manchester United at home, scoring a stunning winner to power his side’s 3-2 victory over the Red Devils. He has already been tipped to have a “fantastic” career in Europe and could be a nice fit into Chelsea’s philosophy of playing with a vibrant, young set of players under Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues have already brought in quality young players like Andrey Santos and Lesley Ugochukwu to improve their future core, and it remains to be seen if they make a move for an exciting, clinical winger like Bardghji in 2024.
