Barcelona B coach Sergi Barjuan says he has advised Ilaix Moriba not to leave the Catalan giants amid uncertainty over the midfielder’s future at the club.
The teenager has been in negotiations over a contract renewal but is yet to sign a new deal and has been left out of pre-season training with the first team.
Moriba was also omitted from Barca B’s 3-0 friendly win over L’Escala on Friday, and Barjuan said after the game he has offered the youngster some words of advice.
“I’ve been speaking with him and I told him that I will help with whatever I can, but above all I advised him not to leave,” he said.
