The good news for Manchester United enthusiasts is that Copenhagen looks set to sell their young gem, Roony Bardghji, sooner rather than later.
The bad news is that it seems that Chelsea, their Premier League rivals, are in the driver’s seat of such a decision.
90 Min reports that “FC Copenhagen are in a position to sell Roony Bardghji, the Chelsea target, who also spelled for Manchester United and Tottenham, among others, in the January transfer window. “
The west London side are credited with a long-standing interest in the player and 90 Min understands that the Danish side “are in a position to sanction an exit next month, and Chelsea are willing to queue up for Bardghji’s signing and will take a look at reaching an agreement with Copenhagen without delay, although the striker will move to west London at the end of the season. “
The young Swede turned 18 last month and made his mark globally by scoring the winning goal against Manchester United in a classic Champions League 4-3.
However, the website does go on to contend that perhaps this deal will not be so simple for the Londoners to complete after all.
According to the site, “Chelsea face the festival in the race to sign Bardghji. Other Premier League teams, Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton
It has been conveyed via The Peoples Person that London-based side Tottenham may have merit to be earned, as Bardghji recently replaced his signature with the same one representing Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou and a host of his stars.
The outlet also clarifies that while there were not enough English groups on the list, “Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Marseille, Monaco, Napoli and PSV Eindhoven have all expressed interest in Bardghji. “
The Swedish U21 team has made 30 appearances this year and has already scored 11 goals for the club this campaign.
The player also only has a contract until the summer of 2025, so this may explain the Danish side’s openness to cashing in on the player, on the condition they can keep him for their Champions League adventure that will see them take on Manchester City in February.
What is evident is that the young Swede seems to have had a great year and will be the subject of many twists and turns on the winding road of moving stories. United fans will be more concerned about their club’s ability to cope with such a tough festival for the signing of the star.
