  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Barcelona recently signed 19-year-old Swedish winger Bardghji from Copenhagen, but Fabrizio Romano reports they are working on bringing in his younger brother, Rayan, who is currently playing for the Danish club. The 15-year-old’s contract is set to expire before his 16th birthday, making him a free agent soon.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Spanish champions are doubling down on youth recruitment. Rayan, like his brother, is seen as a top prospect, with many clubs across Europe watching his development. Barcelona’s interest shows their intention to strengthen La Masia and secure long-term attacking talent early.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Rayan has drawn comparisons to Roony even before making his senior debut, and he’s already attracting interest from major clubs despite his age. Copenhagen are reluctant to lose another top youth talent to Barcelona after Roony’s exit.
