‘Reminds me of Rivaldo’ - Barcelona told what to expect from wonderkid Ibrahim Diarra

Barcelona have been told what to expect from new arrival Ibrahim Diarra who has arrived this winter and will play for Barca Atletic.

The Mali wonderkid has arrived on a four-year deal and the club are believed to have high expectations of the young star.

Diarra’s coach for Mali’s Under-20 team Soumaila Coulibaly has offered some insight into the new signing.

“He reminds me of Rivaldo or Lamine Yamal. Left-footers with similar characteristics. But he must make his way, of course. For me he is the greatest talent in Mali right now, without a doubt,” he told Sport.
