The young midfielder wants more money but the club are taking a stern stance on his deal

The Ilaix Moriba case is drawing to a complicated end. He has not accepted Barca’s last offer and the club have told him they will not sell him cheaply. He will renew his deal or he will sit in the stands until June 2022.

Barca have told his people they will not go higher than their last offer, two million a season for a kid who only recently debuted with the first team. Later there is potential for his contract to improve.

Ilaix is not willing to accept this but Barca won’t sell him cheaply either. Contact between the two parties is currently paralysed. Barca need money but they will keep their stern stance on Ilaix. The club do not like the way his people have been negotiating and believe he may have a proposal for next season already. Chelsea have always wanted him. Ilaix, meanwhile, would prefer to stay and is grateful for Ronald Koeman’s treatment but right now, he’s more out than in.
