Free from any contract at the end of the emerging season, Amara Diouf should no longer join FC Metz when she turns 18.
Like Sadio Mané, Pape Matar Sarr or more recently Lamine Camara, the 16-year-old prodigy was also expected to join the French club as an adult. But his recent victory in the dispute against Génération Foot could turn everything upside down.
Indeed, the national dispute resolution chamber of the FSF officially ruled in favor of Amara Diouf this Monday, November 4. Consequently, the African U17 Champion will be free from any contract at the end of the season, given that his age does not allow him to sign a lease exceeding 3 years as stipulated in article 18 of the FIFA regulations. .
Therefore, his transfer to FC Metz is hypothetically canceled. A twist that could benefit the leaders of FC Barcelona. The latter, well informed by their recruiters, have been following Amara Diouf for a long time and were waiting for an opportunity to act.
This clear victory against his current club before the courts could therefore be the beginnings of a future collaboration with the giant of Catalonia. The Blaugrano management plans to send him to the Masia (club training center) before gradually integrating him into the first team.
