Barça insists on Ibrahim Diarra

Invited to complete a trial period at FC Barcelona in January, Ibrahim Diarra (17 years old) impressed. The Malian youngster has lived up to expectations and reports are positive about him. He finished his trial period brilliantly, and FC Barcelona is looking for a solution to integrate him sooner.

Returning to Mali, the striker will not be able to play for FC Barcelona until he reaches the age of majority, which he will reach next December, according to European Union rules. But Barça is looking for administrative solutions so that Diarra can join the Catalan club this summer, as the daily assures Sport.
