Ilaix Moriba’s future at RB Leipzig seems increasingly uncertain as Celta Vigo looks set to secure the young midfielder on a permanent deal.
After struggling to establish himself at RB Leipzig following his 2021 transfer from La Liga giants FC Barcelona, Ilaix Moriba was loaned out multiple times: to Valencia, Getafe, and now Celta Vigo.
The 21-year-old midfielder has flourished in Spain, becoming a regular starter for Celta Vigo and impressing the club with his development. According to Sky’s Florian Plettenberg, Celta Vigo is eager to exercise their purchase option worth approximately €4.5 million, potentially sealing a long-term move for Ilaix Moriba.
With his growing influence on the pitch, the Spanish side could not only complete the permanent transfer but also set the stage for a future move to the Premier League. Ilaix Moriba’s rise at Celta Vigo has caught the attention of top English clubs, leaving the midfielder’s journey at a fascinating crossroads.
