Bardghji joined Barcelona from FC Copenhagen last summer and scored two goals with four assists in 28 appearances during his debut season, playing largely in the shadow of Lamine Yamal.
He remains under contract at Camp Nou until 2029, but has been strongly linked with a move away after Barcelona received offers from clubs across Europe, including earlier interest from Aston Villa, Sunderland, Everton, Fulham, Brighton, Leeds United, Ajax, Marseille, Porto, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund, according to Mundo Deportivo.
According to Sport, two clubs are showing strong concrete interest in the 20-year-old, with Brighton understood to be leading the chase and prepared to lodge a formal bid. Their pursuit is contingent on the future of winger Yankuba Minteh, who is being tracked by Liverpool; should Minteh leave Falmer Stadium, Brighton are expected to move immediately for Bardghji as his replacement.
Barcelona are not actively pushing the Swede towards the exit, with sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick both said to retain confidence in his long-term quality, but the club would be willing to negotiate if the right proposal arrives.
Any deal is likely to include a buy-back clause, allowing Barcelona to reserve the option of bringing Bardghji back to Camp Nou in future should he continue to develop away from the club. The arrival of Anthony Gordon and interest in Karim Adeyemi have further reduced his path to regular first-team football in Catalonia this season.
Bardghji made his name at Copenhagen before completing a widely praised move to Barcelona, where he was seen as one of the brighter prospects to emerge from Scandinavian football in recent years.
His versatility across the front line has made him an attractive target for clubs looking to add depth and creativity out wide, though his lack of regular minutes at Barcelona last season has strengthened the case for a loan or permanent move where he can play a more consistent role.
Should Brighton's interest advance into a formal offer, the coming weeks are likely to prove decisive in determining whether Bardghji begins next season in the Premier League.
