Much has been speculated about the future of Ilaix Moriba and his little receptivity to extend the contract that joins him with Barcelona and that expires on June 30, 2022. A situation that bothers the Barça club, which wants to start the campaign with all the players it has without the danger that they may be tempted from January 1. For this reason, the sports management of the Catalan club has already contacted the midfielder’s agents to initiate conversations and extend the link. Different information assures that the Barcelona club would be willing to pay him four million euros annual, a figure that collides head-on with Barcelona’s attempts to lower the wage bill that haunts the culé economy.

The truth is that Moriba’s reluctance to extend his contract has disappeared after the decision of Giorginio Wijnaldum of giving Barcelona a sit-in when everything was agreed to accept a much greater economic proposal from PSG. The Dutch midfielder’s agents had been negotiating the agreement with the Catalan club last week and everything had been agreed, but the final offer from the club Nasser Al-Khelaiffi has dynamited the possibility of him wearing the Barça shirt. Certainly, the signing of Wijnaldum supposed a brake in the progression of Ilaix, since he occupied one of the places destined to the medullary. And do not forget the existing competition with De Jong, Busquets, Pedri o Trincao. And Joan Laporta has made it clear that he does not intend to enter an auction because one of his premises for signing a footballer is that he wants to wear a Barça player. A few weeks ago there was speculation with the high claims of Ilaix Moriba after changing representatives, but there had not yet been any meeting in which to exchange opinions. It must be remembered that Ilaix Moriba recently change of representation agency but not agents, since his trusted people in Stellar Group, his old agency, have gone with him to Rogon, the German agency that has Firmino or Draxler in its ranks. They will be in charge of renewing the contract.

Ilaix’s agents have been summoned next week, the June, 15, to address the continuity of the midfielder, who has the full support and confidence of Ronald Koeman. The Dutch coach has given him prominence and has been including him in his line-ups in the last stretch of the campaign. Ilaix has not disappointed and has been able to score some goals. Now you must decide what is best for you. With Koeman confirmed in office, he has many possibilities to be part of the first team and having minutes throughout a presumed long season, with titles at stake such as the League, the Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League, so their desire to succeed at the Camp Nou could be imposed on the financial cravings that could tempt your environment.
