Swedish forward “feels great” and is “improving every day”
Barcelona youngster Roony Bardghji says he is settled at the club and has no plans to leave despite his limited role so far.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a January loan move, after being used sparingly by manager Hansi Flick since his summer arrival from FC Copenhagen.
Reports in Spain suggested several European sides were monitoring his situation ahead of the winter window, but the winger told Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen that the rumours do not reflect his state of mind.
“That’s what the media writes,” said Bardghji. “But I have had a great time and I have a good relationship with Hansi, who is an amazing coach. He and the club trust me, which means a lot.
“I feel great. I’m improving every day and learning a lot. I’ve had quite a bit of playing time, so I feel great. I am patient. I’ve been here for three or four months.”
Since joining from Copenhagen, Bardghji has made nine appearances in all competitions, mostly from the bench. However, Barcelona are satisfied with him and there is an understanding that it will take a little time for a young player to rise to the physical and technical levels required at a club of this size.
Club sources said they “have no doubts” about Bardghji’s long-term potential, with the youngster already showing high technical ability and great attitude in training, according to Sport.
Bardghji has already experienced some of Barcelona’s highest-profile moments this season, including a late appearance in the 2-1 clásico defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“It’s the most important game and you could feel it in the media, everywhere, even before the game,” said Bardghji. “There was a lot of intensity on the pitch and afterwards. It was amazing to be there.”
