Barcelona have announced the transfer of 18-year-old winger from Mali Ibrahim Diarra, BTA reported.
He excelled by scoring 5 goals at the U-17 World Cup last year, where the Mali team finished third.
Barcelona will pay 2.5 million euros to the Mali-based "Africa Foot" Academy, which produced the player.
Diarra signed a contract with Barcelona until 2028, initially to play for the Catalans' second team. There he will be reunited with Noah Darvich, who was brought in from Barcelona after also putting in a very strong performance at the U-17 World Cup.
