Barcelona s 19-year-old supernova, official classification suggests delegating leveling

La Liga giants Barcelona Club officially announced that it has signed 19-year-old Swedish winger star Rooney Badge from Denmark's Copenhagen. The transfer fee is only a symbolic 2 million euros, which is far lower than the players' market valuation and can be called a "baby price".

The low price is due to the contract and injury

Barcelona can win this young attacker who is highly anticipated in European football at such a low price, and there are two main reasons: First, Badge's contract with Copenhagen is only half a year left. If it is not sold in time, Copenhagen will face a situation of losing both people and money at the end of the year; Second, the player has just recovered from a serious injury. He missed 11 months of games due to an ACL injury and did not return until March this year. He has only played 6 games since his comeback. His condition and physical recovery still need to be observed.

The official website "categorized" is intriguing

Although Barcelona officially confirmed the signing and revealed that Badeji signed a four-year contract, the location of his official website revealed a subtle signal of the club's short-term positioning. The relevant announcements did not appear prominently on the homepage of the official website, nor were classified as the first-team news section, but were directly placed under the column representing Barcelona B team. This detail shows that the initial stage after Badji joins is more likely to belong to the echelon organization.

Preseason sets the future: stay in the team or rent out?

However, Barcelona first-team coach Hansi Flick will still have the opportunity to take a close look at the young winger. It is reported that Badji is expected to follow the first team to participate in the upcoming pre-season training camp and warm-up match. Frick will ultimately decide Badge's role in the new season based on the players' performance in training and game, recovery, and the tactical needs of the first team.

Several La Liga teams are interested in loaning

If Frick evaluates that Badge is temporarily unable to get a stable playing time in the highly competitive first team, the club will consider renting for exercise. At present, several La Liga teams have expressed interest in loaning this potential star.

"Buy one get one get one free": The younger brother joins with

According to reports, Badji's younger brother Rayan is believed to have joined the Barcelona club together in this transfer and is expected to join Barcelona's youth training echelon.

Barcelona bet on a young winger with extremely low risk but recovered from injury. The player's official website classification suggests that he is initially positioned in Team B, but his preseason performance will directly determine whether he stays in Frick's first-team plan or is loaned to other La Liga teams to accumulate experience. Their physical recovery progress and competitive state will be key observation points.
