Barcelona must make ‘substantial offer’ to keep Ilaix Moriba - report

Barcelona are keen to extend starlet Ilaix Moriba’s contract but are aware the 17-year-old midfielder is attracting plenty of interest from other clubs.

Moriba, who is now part of the Barcelona B squad, is currently tied to the club until 2022 and has a release clause set at €100 million.

According to ESPN, Barca want to extend his deal “at all costs” and Moriba’s agents are “waiting for a call” from the Catalan giants “to begin a new round of talks.”

However, the club’s tricky financial situation and lack of a president currently makes contract negotiations a little difficult.
