The player's contract expires in 2022 and Barca need to tie him down

Ilaix’s father Mamady Moriba did not want to answer a question about Real Madrid’s interest in his son. Speaking to Que T’hi Jugues, they asked him if he had received a call from Los Blancos.

“Madrid? No, better to leave it, better to talk about something else, for now we’re concentrating on Barca,” said Mamady.

Ilaix has a contract that expires in 2022 and Joan Laporta, the president, sees his renovation as a priority.

Mamady also spoke about the player’s character. “He always has the same winning character, it’s not a new thing, he’s had it since he was a kid,” he explained.

Ilaix almost scored a late equaliser for Barcelona in the Clasico, hitting the crossbar in the dying embers.

“It was an impressive shot, he didn’t manage it but everything will come,” said his father. 

Coach Ronald Koeman is the man who has put his faith in Ilaix. “I don’t have the words for him, we have to thank him so much for what he’s done for Ilaix and the confidence he’s had his him.”
