Everton will look to sign new wingers this summer, and the club have eyes on a top talent from Barcelona.

As the Toffees prepare for the transfer window to open, there is a possibility that a number of the current options will not be here next season.

How would you feel about Hayden Hackney becoming Everton’s first signing? 🤩

Jack Grealish would like to come back to Everton, but it’s possible he could get another chance at Manchester City with Pep Guardiola having left.

There is an option to buy Tyrique George, but the fact he didn’t play much could mean the club don’t trigger it.

And Dwight McNeil almost left in January, and could move on in the next window.

So given all that, there is now a link to a new winger target: Roony Bardghji from Barcelona.

Everton interested in Roony Bardghji

According to TEAMtalk, Everton are one of several clubs showing interest in Roony Bardghji of Barcelona.

Bardghji joined the club last summer from FC Copenhagen, and has made 28 appearances for the club so far, scoring two goals and making four assists.

TEAMtalk say Barca are now prepared to let Bardghji leave the club this summer, and a fairly big queue is already forming for the 20-year-old.

Everton are in it, but so are Leeds United, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Brighton and Brentford.

Villa, Sunderland and Brighton, of course, can all offer the player European football.

All these clubs are said to have ‘made checks on the player’s situation and are monitoring developments closely’.

Bardghji has previously been likened to his teammate Lamine Yamal, with sporting director Deco previously saying (via Goal): “We had Dani Rodríguez for that position, but Dani got injured, and he’s a different profile than Roony, who’s more similar to Lamine, who comes in and links up.”

David Moyes’ use of young players may put Bardghji off Everton

Bardghji is a player with a big potential, but while Everton may hold an interest, a move feels unlikely.

Ultimately, David Moyes has shown a real reluctance to lean on young players since he returned to the club for a second spell.

The likes of Adam Aznou and Tyler Dibling practically lived on the substitutes’ bench in 2025/26. Harrison Armstrong got a run of games initially when he came back from his loan, but then barely featured in Everton’s run-in.

Merlin Rohl got a bit of game time towards the end, but even then, Moyes shunted him out wide.

Bardghji is said to prefer a loan move this summer that would guarantee him regular minutes.

Barca are actually willing to hear permanent offers for Bardghji, but it’s difficult to see Everton making one. Especially as they could simply just buy George via the option to buy clause.
