Ghanaian teenager Hafiz Gariba says his ultimate dream is to line up alongside Spanish star Pau Cubarsí in the Barcelona senior team after signing a three-year deal with the club's Juvenil B side.

The promising defender joined the Catalan giants following an impressive development stint at the Marcet Soccer Academy in Spain, where his performances caught the attention of Barcelona scouts.

Gariba's journey began at Zinaps FC in Ghana, where his early displays earned him a spot at Villarreal CF Africa.

From there, he developed further and gained valuable exposure to top-level training structures that eventually paved his path to Europe.
