The operation to leave Barça continues at a slow pace. Market movements have been slowed down by the World Cup, but Blaugrana are hopeful they will be able to complete the sale of Ansu Fati until at least June 30, once Iñaki Pena’s departure to Panathinaikos is completed. Barca are working on the departure of Marc Casado and serious movements are starting to happen around the figure of Rooney Bargy. The Swedish winger asked to leave for more minutes and the main interest came from the Prime Minister. Now the footballer may decide to wait for Brighton, a club that has shown interest in him and is planning to sell one of their wingers. The operation could even be carried out through a transfer with the possibility of repurchase.
Bargy is free to determine his future. At Barça they made it clear to him that they were satisfied with his performance and trusted him in the future. They understand that their position is difficult, because Lamin Yamal is ahead, and they understand that at his age he wants to play more. Despite everything, Hansi Flick is clear that if he finally decides to stay, his doors are open because he likes his qualities and ability to overflow.
From here, his entourage listened to the interests of various teams. Stuttgart, Ajax and Porto have asked about him the most, but Bargi wants to be completely sure that he chooses a project in which he will be important. And in economic terms, the Prime Minister’s proposals are the most interesting. On one side was Leeds, but the Brighton option could suit all parties.
The English club, which has already loaned Ansu Fati from Barça, is awaiting the situation with its young striker Yankuba Mintech. At 21, he has attracted interest from several top clubs in England and Liverpool could make an offer in the coming days after maintaining initial contacts. If Mintech leaves Brighton, the English club will attack Bargy, and both those around the player and Barca themselves know this.
Brighton also include Swedish midfielder Yacine Ayari, a player who has particularly stood out at the World Cup and who would have a good relationship with Bargy. Barça will not force him to leave, but if the offer suits all parties, he will be allowed to leave. The English club could bid for a transfer with an option to buy for Barca, a club that wants to retain control of the player for the next few years.
