Ilaix Moriba

Moriba Kourouma Kourouma (born 19 January 2003), known as Ilaix Moriba (Catalan: [iˈɫaʃ muˈɾiβə]), is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Barcelona B.

Club Career

Moriba arrived at Barcelona from Espanyol in 2010. He has been considered one of the best players of his generation, and he has very often played in categories of players far older than him. Moriba really stood out at age 15 when he scored a hat-trick against the Real Madrid U19. The most remarkable thing was his last goal, where he scored from the middle of the pitch at the start of the second half.

In January 2019, as his youth contract was about to expire, clubs such as Manchester City and Juventus tried to sign him, but he eventually came to sign a record deal, with a salary of more than €500,000 a year and a buyout clause set at €100 million.

The following season he became a regular for Barca B. He scored his first goal on 8 March 2020, the winner in a 3–2 victory against Llagostera.
