The ex-azulgrana who betrayed FC Barcelona will return to LaLiga

One of the great disappointments of FC Barcelona in the last five years is very close to continuing his career at Celta de Vigo. This is Ilaix Moriba, who three years after his betrayal of Barça, signing for RB Leipzig in exchange for 16 million euros, will be loaned out again to a Spanish club after his time in Valencia (2022/23) and Getafe ( 2023/24).

The Spanish-Guinean has a contract with the German team until June 2026 and, so far, has only played 6 official matches with the club since his arrival in the summer of 2021. Ilaix was loaned to Valencia in January 2022 and remained for a year and half in the 'ché' team, where he played a total of 46 games (1 goal and 3 assists). At Getafe he had less prominence, adding a couple of assists in 14 appearances during 23/24.

Celta will soon announce the loan of Ilaix Moriba

The one from Conakry has just played the Olympic Games with Guinea and has no place in coach Marco Rose's plans this season. According to the latest information, the 21-year-old player would have already said yes to Celta and there are only a few issues left to resolve between the clubs to announce the simple transfer, without a mandatory purchase option until June 2025.

Although Moriba's career is still far from taking off, the proposal from the Vigo team represents a new opportunity for the midfielder. Claudio Giráldez's men also closed this summer on the loan of Borja Iglesias, who returns to LaLiga after a poor season at Bayer Leverkusen, in addition to the transfer of Unai Núñez, a central defender who arrived from Athletic for 7 'kilos'.
