Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy has reiterated the club's commitment to strengthening their squad this summer, though no new signings have been completed yet. The Bluebirds finished second in League One last season with 91 points (27W-10D-9L) and are aiming to challenge for promotion again.
What's the latest on Cardiff's transfer activity?
Barry-Murphy told the club's official website that Cardiff have been working "really, really hard" on transfers for an extended period. The manager emphasized they have clear targets but acknowledged the process takes time. "When we have news, we will tell you as soon as possible," he said.
Who are Cardiff linked with?
Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl has been strongly linked with a move to Cardiff. The 23-year-old has impressed for Tromso this season with seven goals and two assists in the Norwegian league. His creative midfield abilities could add depth to Cardiff's squad.
What about Cardiff's pre-season form?
Cardiff have shown promising form in pre-season, including a 5-1 victory over Forest Green Rovers last Saturday. The team's attacking play has been particularly impressive, scoring 90 goals last season while conceding 50. Barry-Murphy wants to build on this momentum ahead of the new campaign.
What are Cardiff's ambitions for the season?
Barry-Murphy described Cardiff as "a very ambitious team" with high hopes for the upcoming season. The Bluebirds finished 12 points behind league leaders Lincoln last season but are determined to improve. Their next fixture is a home game against Millwall on December 26, 2026.
