Hansi Flick promises 18 -year-old academy ace a first team pre-season role

A new report from SPORT reveals that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has promised young talent Ibrahim Diarra a spot in the first team’s pre-season.

This is a big opportunity for the 18-year-old, who has been working hard to get in shape and prove he deserves a place among the best.

Barça gave Diarra a special training program to help him build muscle and reach the fitness level needed to keep up with the first team.

It is said that he has been dedicated to this plan, first training in Mali and now continuing his preparations in France.

Diarra is seen as one of Africa’s most promising young players. When he arrived at Barcelona last November, he was out of shape and had some knee issues.

But over time, he improved and started to show why many believe he has a bright future. Before leaving for holidays, the club told him he would get the chance to train with the first team during pre-season if he followed their fitness plan carefully.
