Manchester City is reportedly closely monitoring the impressive performances of FC Copenhagen’s young winger, Roony Bardghji, according to Football Insider. The teenage talent has caught the attention of top clubs with standout displays in Champions League clashes against Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Galatasaray.
Bardghji’s stellar form extends to the domestic front, where he has notched an impressive 11 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions in the ongoing 2023/24 campaign. So, such performances have made the Swedish winger a sought-after prospect, drawing interest from clubs across Europe.
Football Insider reveals that Manchester City and local rivals Manchester United have dispatched scouts to observe Bardghji closely, with these scouts reportedly attending “every Copenhagen game this season.” While the competition for Bardghji is fierce, the Manchester clubs are at the forefront of keeping tabs on the promising talent.
Nurturing Future Talent: Manchester City’s focus beyond January
Despite breaking into the Copenhagen first team only during 2021/22 season, Bardghji has quickly become a key figure in attack. Moreover, his consistent displays earned him a contract extension through 2025, showcasing the club’s commitment to nurturing his talent.
While Manchester City is expected to have a relatively quiet January transfer window, the club is making moves for future. The imminent announcement of the signing of River Plate’s promising youngster, Claudio Echeverri, signals City’s focus on securing talent for long term. However, Echeverri, like Julian Alvarez in 2021, will remain on loan at River Plate for the rest of the season.
On the field, Pep Guardiola’s side is gearing up for a crucial Premier League clash against Newcastle United at St. James’s Park. Manchester City are sitting five points behind league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand. They aim to regain momentum in title race, highlighting the significance of securing emerging talents like Bardghji for future success.
