UEFA Champions League
Celta de Vigo could take an important step in securing Ilaix Moriba's continuity beyond his loan spell. The central midfielder, loaned by RB Leipzig until June 2025, has become a key piece in Claudio Giráldez's scheme, displaying a level that has revitalized his career in LaLiga.
The Spanish-Guinean midfielder, trained at La Masia, has found in Balaídos the ideal environment to shine. His ability to cover large spaces, contribute defensively, and join the attack has been crucial for the team. So far, he has played 19 matches this season, starting in 11 of them, standing out for his tactical intelligence and technical contributions. According to Sport, these performances have led Celta to seriously consider exercising the buying option set at five million euros, a reasonable amount considering the impact he has had on the team.
A very affordable buying option
There are clear signals of his importance even from the locker room. Fran Beltrán, his midfield partner, publicly expressed the desire for the club to finalize his signing, highlighting his contribution on both ends of the field. This influence has not gone unnoticed by the fans, who appreciate the potential and energy that Ilaix brings.
Celta would not only secure a fundamental player for its project, but Barcelona would also receive a small percentage from the operation, a clause included in the initial sale to Leipzig. Ilaix, now settled in Spain, appears destined to be one of Celta's standout names in the immediate future.
