Barca are asking for 15m euros for Ilaix or he will be benched
The midfielder didn't renew his deal and is facing an ultimatum from the Catalans
Ilaix Moriba’s future looks like it will be in the stands. Barca and his agents believe the situation is irreversible and either he is sold or he loses a year of his career.
Barca are sure that they won’t sell Ilaix for less than 15m euros, per ARA, a number that few clubs will pay. They received a 5m euro offer from the Bundesliga, from a club Barca told “no” to.
Barca want 15m euros now and up to 10m euros in variables. If no club accepts that then Ilaix will have to send a whole year in the stands. He will not play for the first team or for Barca B. He can train with Barca B but will not participate in games.
The representatives of the player know there will be no more meetings with the club, if it’s not to accept the terms they were offered or to discuss an interesting offer to move elsewhere.
Barca are being realistic and know there’s a high chance he stays and leaves for free next summer. They want this to be an example to other youngsters coming through La Masia.
