Roony Bardghji on loan from Barça: the "low-cost gem" we need to turn things around?
I wanted to share a thought on a potential move that, in my opinion, would be consistent with our current situation: bringing in Roony Bardghji on loan with an option to buy, a “Morata-style” deal.
We’re talking about a player with world-class potential, but with a clear issue right now: he needs consistent playing time, which he isn’t getting at Barcelona. For this reason, a loan deal could realistically be on the table.
Why it could make sense:
In a context where we don’t have the financial resources to go for established players like Olise or other world-class profiles, I would personally rather invest in a high-upside talent than continue signing “average” players who are often physically unreliable, as we’ve seen in recent years.
Moreover, an attack featuring Kenan and Roony — while waiting to complete the front three with a true finisher — would be extremely unpredictable. Two dynamic, technical players capable of creating superiority.
The downsides:
The main risk is obvious: lack of experience. Integrating such a young and still inconsistent player into a high-pressure environment is never straightforward, and there’s no guarantee of immediate impact.
Juventus right wing situation 2026–27:
- >!Conceição!<: currently the best option in the role. Excellent dribbling, but clear limitations in finishing and physicality.
- Zhegrova: very poor season in terms of fitness and decision-making, plus limited chemistry with Spalletti. Likely to be sold.
- Nico González: very likely to return from his loan at Atlético. He could fit under Spalletti, but concerns about his physical reliability remain. He might be kept for a “trial” season, and his experience could be key in balancing Roony’s potential lack of experience.
In conclusion:
Roony would be a high-upside, relatively low immediate-cost gamble. Given the limited resources, does it make sense to take this kind of risk on a talent like him, or is it more rational to target more proven players, even if they’re less exciting?
P.S.: For those who haven't seen much of him lately, here is a link to some Roony highlights to give you an idea of his playstyle and potential fit:
