Costs 300 thousand and will play for Barça, the new jewel that amazes Xavi

Barcelona has just secured one of the great promises that this sport has in the future. Those led by Xavi Hernández, who are going through an economic crisis, are looking for young signings without a significant cost that affects the checkbook. For this reason, they have moved quickly to acquire one of the top figures currently competing in the U-17 World Cup.

In this case we are talking about Ibrahim Diarra, the captain of Mali. The African is barely 16 years old and will sign his contract with Barça when he turns 18 according to the information revealed by 'Jijantes FC'. He has already been training with the Juvenil A of the Catalan team, but will arrive in December of next year. Meanwhile he will continue playing for Africa Foot in the Malian First Division.

Diarra had already been closely followed for some time, but he surprised in the match his team played against Spain in the World Cup, a match that was decided 1-0 in favor of the Europeans. The future Barça player played a very good 74 minutes and was the great leader of Mali. It should be noted that his usual position is that of an inside midfielder, but in this U-17 he is playing as a right winger.

Barcelona bets on the quarry

His value according to Transfermarkt is 300 thousand euros, but the culé team will have him at no cost. Which can bring great benefits in this economic context if he gives results to the first team. Barça promises to target the youth divisions, where great players have recently emerged: Pedri, Gavi, Alejandro Balde, Lamine Yamal and Fermín López more recently.
