European giants Barcelona have signed six-year-old Brazilian prodigy
Artur Miani to its fabled youth academy, La Masia.

program Friday, following in the footsteps of modern day legends Xavi,
Andres Iniesta and Lionel

club in September, reported Xinhua.

the world," Artur's father Adilson Miani told Globoesporte.
"He is six years old so he cannot go alone. I can't leave the country now so his mother will probably go with him."

at the place that produced players like Messi. It's going to be a
fantastic
The youngster's father is delighted and very proud that his son will
