Ilaix Moriba did not want to say goodbye to the day without sending a message through his social networks. The fact that the youth squad's message arrived the same day that Ronald Koeman publicly accused him of feeling very disappointed with his attitude, accusing him of putting economic aspects before sports, “something horrible for an 18-year-old boy”, suggests that the message was clearly addressed to the Dutch coach.
“Thousands of rumors and nobody knows the truth.” This was the brief but forceful phrase that Ilaix launched through his personal Instagram account, with the added image of a plane flying over the sky.

Evidently, We cannot specify if it is meant that Koeman does not know the ins and outs of the negotiations and that he has made a mistake in judging him prematurely or if his message is much more general and refers to all the rumors that appear day in and day out also about him.
In any case, both Joan Laporta and Ronald Koeman have spoken out very clearly against the attitude of Ilaix and his agents, to the point that the threat of staying a whole season without playing in the subsidiary is taking shape with each passing day.
Hence, today, and Given the refusal of Moriba and his environment to sign a downward renewal, it seems that the only viable way out is a transfer. For now, the German club of the Leipzig is the only one that has made a formal proposal, but according to the club, it is completely unsatisfactory., since Barcelona will not let the player escape for less than 15 million euros.
