They have a plan for a double switch with Sabitzer moving to Bayern Munich

Barcelona are at war with Ilaix Moriba and his agents. They are planning to move him to Leipzig to replace Marcel Sabitzer, another client of theirs, who is set to join Bayern Munich for 20m. Leipzig have only offered Barca eight million euros for now. Barca do not want to accept this and are still negotiating.

The Blaugrana think things changed with Ilaix when he chose Rogon as the company to manage his future. Early conversations with his people before that had been positive but everything changed when Rogon got involved and they demanded a huge salary.

From there they have been trying to wear Barca down to get Ilaix out cheaply at the end of August. They rejected Barca’s renewal offers and know the club is under pressure to sell as he can walk away for free next summer.

At Barca they want at least 15m euros. The club are threatening Ilaix with sitting out the season in the stands if he does not leave.
