The young talent Ibrahim Diarra has ended his probationary period at FC Barcelona and has returned to his home country of Mali. At just 17 years old, the striker has made a positive impression on Barcelona coaches, who have highlighted his huge potential. Diarra has left a remarkable mark both in youth training and in Barça Atlètic’s reserve team, demonstrating his agility and speed on the pitch.
However, there is an obstacle on his path to full integration into the Catalan club: his status as a non-EU player and his birthday, which only makes him eligible for FIFA license processing after next summer. Barça and Diarra’s entourage are examining possible administrative solutions that would allow him to be integrated into the team at an early stage.
According to club sources, Diarra stood out for his attacking and vertical style of play, qualities that should make him worth considering in the short and medium term. Originally from the African Foot Academy in Mali, Diarra was sent to the Barcelona Sports City facilities as part of the collaboration between his academy and the Spanish club.

Now the unknown lies in whether it is possible to find administrative solutions that will speed up Diarra’s integration process into the Barça team this summer. His potential is undeniable and both the club and the player want to see him grow as quickly as possible under the guidance of the Blaugrana coaching staff.
