The 18-year-old left-back joins from Accra Lions, marking a milestone as he becomes the first player to join the Blaugrana directly from Ghana.
Oduro, born on June 12, 2006, has been a standout performer in the Ghanaian Premier League, making 50 appearances and contributing both defensively and offensively with one goal and six assists. His performances have drawn comparisons to Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, known for his speed and versatility.

Oduro is expected to join the prestigious La Masia academy, where he will continue his development and aim to break into the first team in the future. His move to Barcelona is seen as a significant step in his career, and he is eager to make an impact at his new club.
This signing highlights Barcelona’s commitment to nurturing young talent and strengthening their youth setup. Fans are eagerly anticipating Oduro’s contributions to the team and his potential rise through the ranks.
