Barcelona youngster Hafiz Gariba
earned rave reviews after impressing on Sunday during Barca Atletic’s 3-0 win over CE Manresa.Juliano Belletti’s side continued their excellent form with another victory to stay top of the table thanks to efforts from Orian Goren and Pedro Rodríguez as well as an own goal.
Hafiz Gariba has already been tipped for first-team success by former coach José Luis Gallardo, and his latest performance has excited local media.
Diario Sport reporter Sergi Capdevila wrote on X:
“Hafiz Gariba put in a perfect performance. Impregnable in the air and on the ground, and flawless in his distribution. Getting better every week. What a prospect Barça have.”
Journalist Jaume Marcet added: “The centre-back we’re looking for for the first team needs to be quick, good at covering for his teammates, strong in duels and technically gifted.. We have him at the club, and his name is Hafiz Gariba.”
And RAC1’s Albert Blaya Sensat also shared his thoughts: “Hafiz Gariba has the best physique I’ve seen in a reserve-team player. Elite acceleration, power and elasticity. Very good on the ball. He’s a top-class centre-back.”
There has been speculation recently that Barcelona are looking to lock down Gariba’s future recently and secure him a contract until 2031.
He’s definitely one to watch.
