Tottenham remains keen to add Barcelona contract rebel, Ilaix Moriba to their squad in this transfer window.
The Guinean-Spaniard broke into the Barcelona first team last season and was one of their top stars.
They had hoped he would continue his development with them in this campaign and beyond.
However, the midfielder is refusing to sign a new contract with the Catalans and they have banished him from their first-team training.
He is back with the B team, but they are also not handing him chances to play and his best bet might be to leave the club in this transfer window.
If he doesn’t, he could spend the next year wasting away on the bench, which would be bad for his development.
Tottenham is now looking to bring him to London for around £13m, but The Daily Mail claims that the Lilywhites aren’t the only club looking to sign him with the report claiming that RB Leipzig is also keen on him.
The Germans will represent serious competition, as they have a reputation for developing youngsters very well.
Moriba might feel joining them will help his development better than if he moves to Tottenham.
The agent is playing games with the young man’s career, if they think he is worth it. Sign him for $20M other than all these shady ponsi scheme deals they trying to cook up. He is a first teamer let him decide who he wants to play for.
