What has Bardghji said about his future?

Speaking to Gteborgs-Posten in light of the renewed media attention he is generating, the 17-year-old said regarding the interest in him: "It's fun, it means you're doing something good. But like I said before, I don't think too much about it."

"I play in Copenhagen and I am here with the national team now. But it's big and I'm glad they're looking at me. I have great confidence and believe that I am ready for whatever comes. I don't mean that I should go now, but I mean that I have the confidence regardless of whether it would be now or later."

In 2022, the youngster told Aftonbladet: “My goal is to become the best footballer in the world. I've had that dream since I was a kid and nothing can stop me except myself. I want to end up at Real Madrid and I want to play there for many years.”
