Villarreal requests the signing of the least-used player by Hansi Flick

The deal could be finalized in January if Flick authorizes his departure to Marcelino's team

Hansi Flick's arrival on Camp Nou bench is the best thing that's happened to FC Barcelona in a long time. The German coach has created a compact team in defense, very powerful in attack, that presses with purpose and finds solutions in phases of the game where they used to struggle too much. His leadership has brought stability back to the Catalan club, and the locker room is responding with a tactical discipline that hadn't been seen in quite some time.

Hansi Flick has also managed to reactivate several footballers whose performances had stagnated, such as Eric or Ferran, providing clarity in roles and responsibility to those who can make a difference. The squad shows total commitment to his method, and the fans are beginning to recognize patterns of play that recall the best moments of the Guardiola era. The German's excellent work is reflected in the good results achieved, but also in the sense of control the team conveys.

The least used player by Hansi Flick, gold for Villarreal

In this positive scenario, the coach has a clear plan for rotation and is managing minutes with strict performance criteria. The demands are at their highest, which has led to some players barely seeing the field despite their quality. One of them is Roony Bardghji, the young prospect who arrived to compete immediately, but who has found very few opportunities.

Roony Bardghji has been relegated to the bench in most matches due to Lamine's presence and Hansi Flick's preference for more experienced profiles in key games. His talent is unquestioned, but his adaptation is taking longer than desired, and the coach prefers not to rush the process. In fact, before the match against Betis, the Swede had only played 196 minutes (196 min.), just ahead of Dro and Bernal, a youth player and an injured player.

In this situation, Villarreal has moved quickly and requested his loan to strengthen their attack in January. The groguets see Roony Bardghji as an attractive market opportunity, since he would have a much more prominent role. The sporting management of the yellow submarine believes that his imbalance and his striking ability would fit perfectly into Marcelino's offensive model.

Roony Bardghji, a great alternative for Villarreal

Villarreal's proposal includes guaranteeing him minutes and a specific development plan, something that appeals to both the footballer and his entourage. Moreover, from La Cerámica, they are convinced that they can accelerate his competitive maturity and turn him into a key piece in the medium term. For them, Roony Bardghji is a star project who simply needs continuity.

It's clear that in the match against Betis, in which he scored his first official goal wearing the Barça jersey, Roony Bardghji showed that he deserves many more minutes. However, Lamine's presence and Hansi Flick's ideas won't be easy to overcome. A loan to Villarreal in January could be a great solution for him to play regularly in the second half of the season. We'll see what happens.
