Ilaix Moriba’s Next Chapter: Advanced Talks with Getafe as Downfall Continues
In the latest twist of his turbulent career, Ilaix Moriba finds himself in advanced negotiations with Getafe, as reported by Matteo Moretto. The former Barcelona prodigy, now 20 years old, is personally sought after by Getafe’s head coach, Jose Bordalas.
Should the deal materialize, Moriba would have the opportunity to reunite with Carles Alena at Getafe and share the pitch with the likes of Mason Greenwood in La Liga. The potential move marks the latest chapter in Moriba’s decline since his departure from Barcelona for €16 million in 2021.
The promising central midfielder’s journey has taken unexpected turns, with less-than-impressive stints at both Valencia and RB Leipzig, where he has fallen out of favor. Reports suggest that attitude issues have been a significant factor hindering Moriba’s progress, contributing to his struggles in the Bundesliga.
Despite showing promise during his time with Barcelona, scoring one goal and providing three assists in 18 appearances, Moriba’s career trajectory has taken an unforeseen dip. Having been part of the Blaugrana setup since 2010, the midfielder’s potential move to Getafe underscores the challenges he faces in regaining his footing in the footballing landscape.
