​Barcelona knew this moment was coming.When the club completed the signings of Anthony Gordon and is now closing in on Karim Adeyemi, it became increasingly clear that not every attacker would have a realistic pathway into Hansi Flick’s plans.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOne of the biggest casualties of that reshuffle has been Roony Bardghji, whose future now appears to lie away from Spotify Camp Nou.The Swedish winger remains one of the most highly-rated young talents of his generation, but Barcelona also recognise that another season spent waiting for opportunities would do little for his development.Instead, the club is working to find a destination where he can play regularly while protecting their long-term investment.Sporting are interested in Roony Bardghji.
