The Ilaix Moriba earthquake goes beyond Barcelona. The Barça youth squad has made the decision to resign from the Spanish National Team and will from now on play with the Guinea national team. This is what he has communicated this Saturday to the Federation of the African country in a meeting that his father has held with the Guinean leaders.
The Barcelona midfielder, who had been a Spanish international in almost all the lower categories of the Spanish National Team, is considered by the Spanish Federation as one of the footballers with the most projection of our football. Nevertheless, the footballer has decided that from now on he will represent the country that saw him born 18 years ago. In 2017, he received a call from the Guinea national team to join the U-16. Then, both the player and his environment rejected the offer and opted to play for Spain. However, this Saturday the midfielder has taken the opposite path and has already informed the Guinea Federation that he is making himself available to them. In fact, it is most likely that he will already be called up for the two games that the African team will play against Guinea Bissau and Morocco in September.
Ilaix Moriba is very affected by all the controversy generated by his non-renewal with Barcelona. A few days ago he received a call from the Spanish Federation to inquire about his status. In this talk, the representative of the federative body showed his support and encouraged him. Despite this gesture, the young player has decided to change his team and represent his native country.
