Marseille interested in Premier League and Bundesliga target Johan Bakayoko
According to a report from La Provence, Olympique de Marseille are interested in PSV winger Johan Bakayoko (22), who remains a target for clubs in the Premier League and the Bundesliga. Marseille are in the market for a winger this summer following the departure of Luis Henrique (23) to Internazionale Milan. However, they have yet to make great strides in finding a replacement for the Brazilian. Advertisement There had been reports that the club were interested in Bakayoko's teammate Noa Lang (26), but the Dutchman appears close to a move to Serie A side Napoli, while interest in FC Copenhagen's Roony Bardghji (19) collapsed over fitness concerns. La Provence writes that Marseille have not progressed much with their interest in Bakayoko, with the Marseille-based outlet writing that PSV have only heard of the club's interest, while other teams have made more concrete moves. The Belgian winger's contract with the Dutch champions expires in 2026, so there is perhaps an onus on PSV to sell this summer to avoid losing him for free. GFFN | Nick Hartland

FC Barcelona Agrees New Signing, Reports Market Expert
FC Barcelona has completed a new signing according to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who ... More relayed the news on his popular X account. FC Barcelona has agreed a new transfer with a player and his club according to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who relayed the news on his popular X account. 'Roony Bardghji to Barcelona, here we go! Deal now confirmed as verbal agreement is done and will be sealed from next week,' the Italian tweeted. 'Barça will pay €2 million fixed fee plus add-ons and [there will be a] sell-on clause for FC Copenhagen talent. [It's a] long term deal sealed with the Swedish talented winger,' Romano added. If the deal is confirmed and announced next week, 19-year-old Bardghji would become the Catalans' second signing of the summer. Already, Barça has sealed 2024/2025 breakout star Joan Garcia from Espanyol, whose €25 million release clause it paid ahead of announcing the youngster's capture and having him sign a six-year contract. After Garcia was successfully landed, Barca started getting to work on signing Nico Williams, whose release clause is fixed at a much higher €58 million payment required to get him out of his Athletic Club terms. The Euro 2024 winner with Spain would provide relief to Raphinha on the left wing while the Brazilian will probably also drift into the center as a CAM or number 10. Simultaneously, Dani Olmo could act as a false number 9 as a Robert Lewandowski believed to be on his way to Saudi Arabia in 2026 is gradually phased out. A similar logic could apply to Bardghji, who if impressing Flick in preseason could supply back up to Lamine Yamal and give the 17-year-old a rest. There's a fear of overloading the prodigy, who played 55 games in 2024/2025 and 50 games in the campaign before that, with Ansu Fati's fall from grace a cautionary tale of putting too many minutes in young legs. Making his debut in the competition in October 2022, Bardghji boasts Champions League experience and scored a late winner against Manchester United in a 4-3 victory in late 2023. Bardghji is a bet for the future from FC Barcelona Not yet boasting the experience of someone like Williams, who is also a few years older than him, Bardghji is a bet for the future for FC Barcelona yet has Culers excited for the promise he has shown as a skillful winger that is adept at cutting inside, strong on his feet and also boasts a goalscoring threat.

Barcelona in ‘final stages' of agreement for teenage wonderkid
Barcelona are closing in on their second signing of the summer, with Copenhagen wonderkid Roony Bardghji seemingly close to signing for the Catalan giants. Fabrizio Romano has reported that a deal for Bardghji is expected to be completed. The 19-year-old Swedish talent has been on the radar of Europe's biggest clubs since making his debut for Copenhagen at the age of just 16. Over the past two years, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have sent scouts to watch Bardghji, but with his contract expiring at the end of 2025, an opportunity to sign Bardghji at a reduced price presented itself. Deal for Bardghji expected to be concluded this week According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal is expected to be closed in the coming days, with an agreement in the final stages. He would join the Blaugrana in July. Portuguese giants Porto had submitted an offer for Bardghji, as reported previously by Romano, but it seems Barcelona's offer is currently the most attractive, with a number of Europe's elite showing interest. What role could Bardghji have at Barcelona? It is not entirely clear how Barcelona would plan to use Bardghji next season. The teenage starlet tends to play on the right side, cutting in onto his left, in similar fashion to Lamine Yamal, albeit as much more of a striker than their current starter there. Bardghji is coming off nearly a year out with a cruciate ligament injury though, and is only just making his way back from injury. Image via Lars Ronbog/FrontZoneSport via Getty Images It seems tricky for Bardghji to have much of a role in the first team, especially if the Blaugrana sign Nico Williams as they plan to. With Barca Atletic now relegated and into the fourth tier, game time there seems rather unappealing for Bardghji, and it may be that he is loaned out next season to continue his development, albeit this is a route Barcelona have taken less of late.
