This strategic move by Barcelona is a difficult one for Bardghji. The club's intentions are for the young Swede to be part of the first-team dynamic and available for call-ups by Flick. Bardghji's performances in preseason with the senior squad, where he was noted for his excellent dribbling, skills on the right wing, and finishing ability, had convinced Flick of his potential value as a first-team alternative. However, until the club can generate the necessary financial fair play, Bardghji is not formally part of the senior squad. His registration with the reserve team means that while he can play with them, his path to becoming a permanent member of Flick's squad is more complicated.

Blaugrana's decision to register Bardghji as a reserve player is a short-term solution that buys them time. The club are expected to explore a permanent first-team registration for him when the next transfer window opens in January. This will likely depend on their ability to offload high-earning players or secure additional income streams. For now, Bardghji will train with the first team but will remain on the books of the reserve squad.
