Juventus are being linked with a move for Celta de Vigo’s Guinea‑Spain central midfielder Ilaix Moriba, 23, who currently plays in La Liga and is valued at €15.00m.
The Serie A club are monitoring Moriba’s situation in Spain, with his contractual status at Celta unclear and no expiry date publicly listed, raising the prospect that he could move for a relatively low fee or even run down his deal towards free-agent status. The reported probability of any transfer at this stage remains unknown, with the move rated simply as “?”.
Born in Conakry on 19 January 2003, the 1.85m right-footed midfielder has dual nationality, representing both Guinea and Spain at different stages of his development. Now wearing the No 6 shirt at Celta, he operates primarily as a central midfielder, a profile that fits Juventus’ ongoing search for more dynamism and physical presence in the middle of the pitch.
Moriba has been a regular part of Celta’s set-up in the current campaign. In a recent La Liga outing against Real Betis on 4 May 2026, he featured in a 1-1 draw, playing in central midfield and contributing to Celta’s ball progression and defensive work, underlining why clubs from outside Spain are tracking his progress.
His market value of €15.00m, as listed by Transfermarkt, places him in an attainable bracket for Juventus compared with some of their other midfield targets, especially if his contract situation enables negotiation leverage or potential pre-contract discussions further down the line.
With interest emerging from one of Europe’s traditional powerhouses and his long-term future in Vigo still not defined, the coming months could be decisive in shaping whether Moriba establishes himself as a cornerstone at Celta or uses a move to Turin as the next step in a career still rich with potential.
