Reports from Spain suggest that 17-year-old Malian sensation Ibrahim Diarra has successfully concluded a trial period, paving the way for a potential move to one of La Liga’s giants.
The young forward, who has been under scrutiny throughout most of February, showcased his talents during the trial, leaving a lasting impression on the youth coaches of the prestigious club in question—revealed to be none other than Barcelona.
The trial period concluded last week, allowing Diarra to reunite with his family in Mali.
Spanish outlet Sport has reported that the Barcelona coaching staff was impressed by Diarra’s skills and potential, prompting the initiation of formal steps for his permanent recruitment.
The club is reportedly in the process of finalizing an offer for the budding talent.
While Ibrahim Diarra will celebrate his 18th birthday in December, making him eligible for a professional contract, Barcelona seems keen to secure his services ahead of time.
The Blaugrana are said to be working towards presenting Diarra with a permanent contract, underscoring their belief in his abilities and the potential he brings to the team.
If the negotiations and formalities proceed as anticipated, Ibrahim Diarra could find himself donning the iconic Barcelona jersey in the near future.
The move represents a significant milestone for the young Malian, who has already captured the attention of one of the footballing world’s most illustrious clubs.
Football enthusiasts await official confirmation of the deal, eager to witness Diarra’s journey as he potentially takes his talents to the grand stage of La Liga.
