Transfer Fight for Star Who Added to Ten Hag’s Misery: Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham
The winger has garnered attention from several top teams after making a strong impression in Denmark over the past few seasons. Bardghji is widely considered one of the most promising young talents in Europe, having scored seven goals in 17 appearances for FC Copenhagen last season. The 18-year-old can play on either wing and also as a makeshift striker when needed, and his versatility is drawing attention.
The Sweden international has been a regular feature in the Superligaen over the past few seasons, but it was his performance in the Champions League earlier this season that truly brought him into the spotlight. Bardghji came off the bench to score a remarkable 87th-minute winner against Manchester United in his team’s 4-3 victory. Since then, the teenager has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but other clubs are also interested in acquiring his services.
Chelsea and Tottenham are also in the race for Bardghji, with Brighton and Aston Villa also in consideration. A bidding war is expected in the summer transfer window as a result, and FC Copenhagen sporting director Peter Christiansen has addressed the interest in the talented prospect. Addressing the interest, Christiansen emphasized Bardghji’s potential and work ethic, saying, “Roony’s time will come.
I’m sure of that. We know what dreams and talent he has, but he’s a humble boy who works insanely hard on the training ground.” The Danish side was not willing to consider offers for Bardghji during the January transfer window, setting a club-record valuation of around £17 million at the end of the season.
When asked about this valuation, Christiansen explained that the market ultimately determines the price, and bigger clubs with more financial muscle would lead to a larger transfer fee. It is anticipated that if numerous offers arrive, a bidding war could ensue for the young forward.
