Barcelona signed right winger Roony Bardghji from FC Copenhagen and sold midfielder Pablo Torre to Mallorca, the La Liga champions said Monday.
The 19-year-old Sweden Under-21 international joined for around 2.5 million euros ($3 million), according to reports in Spanish media.
“(Bardghji) has signed for the next four seasons, until June 30, 2029,” said Barca in a statement, without specifying the cost of the deal.
Bardghji scored 15 goals in 84 games for Copenhagen after reaching the first team in the 2021/2022 season.
He suffered a severe knee injury in May 2024, which kept him out of action for nearly a year, with the youngster making his return in March 2025.
Bardghji becomes Barcelona’s second signing of the summer after they brought in goalkeeper Joan Garcia from local rivals Espanyol.
The Catalan giants also announced the sale of 22-year-old playmaker Torre to Mallorca for an undisclosed fee, estimated to be 5 million euros according to Spanish media, as well as a percentage of the profit on any future sale.
“Torre is a new Mallorca player for the next four seasons, until June 30, 2029,” said the island club in a statement.
“Torre arrives from Barcelona, where he moved in 2022 and with whom he won La Liga twice, two Spanish Super Cups and the Copa del Rey.”
The midfielder played a total of 27 times for Barcelona’s first team, scoring five goals.

Title-chasing Man City beat Palace 3-0, Villa edge five-goal thriller
*
Villa comeback win at West Ham keeps them in title race
*
Forest beat Spurs to move five points clear of danger zone
MANCHESTER: Manchester City maintained their squeeze on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday, a result that keeps Pep Guardiola’s side lurking two points behind the leaders and ready to pounce.
Aston Villa came from behind to win 3-2 at West Ham United to remain in the thick of the title race, while Nottingham Forest trounced error-prone visitors Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 for their fourth win in six league games.
At Selhurst Park, Erling Haaland scored twice and Phil Foden added another as second-placed City, who have 34 points, stayed in touch with Arsenal, who needed two own goals in a nervy 2-1 win over rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Haaland met Matheus Nunes’ cross with a thundering header after 41 minutes and Foden doubled the lead when he fired past Henderson from the edge of the box in the 69th.
Haaland sealed the victory from the penalty spot late on after goalkeeper Dean Henderson fouled Savinho.
“Erling is a forward to score the goals but in the second half he keeps the ball,” Guardiola told Sky Sports. “He was able to contain situations. He helped us be together. In the second half he was outstanding.”
Palace are fifth on 26 points.
ROGERS DOUBLE LIFTS VILLA TO VICTORY
At London Stadium, Morgan Rogers struck twice to put Aston Villa on 33 points in third spot. West Ham’s sixth home defeat of the season left them third from bottom with 13 points.
Villa conceded after 29 seconds as Mateus Fernandes punished a mistake by Ezri Konsa and the away side trailed 2-1 at the interval before Rogers took matters into his own hands.
He drilled home an equalizer five minutes after the break and then smashed a dipping drive past keeper Alphonse Areola late on to seal the points.
Villa had canceled out West Ham’s early opener in the 10th minute with defender Konstantinos Mavropanos credited with an own goal but Jarrod Bowen put the hosts back in front.
“We needed to keep calm and be consistent and demanding in our game plan,” Villa boss Unai Emery told the BBC.
“I like how the players are responding, how they are getting the challenges we are sending in the dressing room but now everything is done and we go again.”
At the City Ground, Callum Hudson-Odoi bagged a double and Ibrahim Sangare added a late goal to lift Forest five points clear of the danger zone in 16th. Spurs are 11th on 22 points.
“The players are looking fitter, sharper and I know we have quality here, it was on show today,” Forest boss Sean Dyche told Sky. “It’s often about building the basics. The players are doing it brilliantly. We’re building that squad mentality.” (Reporting by Lori Ewing; Editing by Ken Ferris)
