La Liga champions Barcelona are under heavy fire from some of Europe’s biggest clubs looking to snatch the Guiney-born central midfielder Ilaix Moriba.

The talented youngster has only turned 16 last week and Barcelona are hoping to tie him down on a professional contract. The Catalans are facing plenty of competition however with Juventus, Manchester City and most recently Chelsea all looking to sneak their way in and grab the midfielder.

Barcelona have already offered a contract to their academy graduate who was expected to make his final decision on Monday.

However, due to the fact that Chelsea have swooped in with a late offer the midfielder will need to consult with his representatives before the final decision has been made.

Ilaix Moriba is a hugely talented central midfielder whose style of play and physicality have drawn plenty of comparisons with Paul Pogba.
