During the early stages of his career, former Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba was regarded as one of the most talented players to come out of La Masia.
However, a lack of patience and perseverance saw him make the move to RB Leipzig in 2021 – a transfer that did not work out in favour of the young phenom.
Fast forward to the present day, Moriba is coming on the back of a relatively impressive loan spell at Getafe and is now in contention to join Sevilla.
Moriba wanted by Sevilla
According to El Correo de Andalucia (h/t SPORT), Sevilla are seemingly determined to snap up Ilaix Moriba this summer.
Sevilla coach Garcia Pimienta wants to add more familiar players under his ranks heading into the new season. He has notably identified Ansu Fati as a top target, while Moriba, too, has joined the wishlist.

As per the report, Sevilla have proposed a loan offer for Moriba, with Pimienta prepared to make him a cornerstone of his midfield setup next season.
Barcelona stand to gain from Moriba deal
Barcelona will be keeping a close eye on Ilaix Moriba’s ongoing transfer saga, as the club hold a 10% sell-on fee clause.
That means Barcelona are entitled to receive 10% of Moriba’s future transfer value from RB Leipzig and with Sevilla keen on his services, there is a chance the Catalans may get to financially benefit from this saga.
However, the report does not mention Sevilla wanting to permanently sign Moriba while the player himself is reportedly trying to get the letter of freedom from RB Leipzig.
Barcelona will not benefit from this deal, should Sevilla manage to sign Moriba on a free transfer. Hence, this transfer saga will be a key monitorable for the Catalan outfit this summer.
