Manchester United-linked Ilaix Moriba is reportedly unlikely to remain at Barcelona during this summer's transfer window.

Ilaix Moriba is reportedly unlikely to remain at Barcelona during this summer's transfer window, with the midfielder thus far refusing to renew his contract at Camp Nou.

The 18-year-old made the breakthrough into the Barcelona first team during the 2020-21 campaign, featuring on 18 occasions for the club in all competitions, including 14 appearances in La Liga.

The teenager's deal is due to expire next summer, though, and it is understood that he is not prepared to sign the contract currently on the table.

According to Marca, Barcelona's decision to leave Moriba out of their first-team squad for pre-season has not been well-received by the midfielder, who feels disrespected.

The report claims that the youngster is likely to join another club this summer, and Manchester United are believed to be interested in his signature.

The 20-time English champions allegedly made a 'firm offer' for Moriba earlier this year but were informed that the Spain Under-18s international was not for sale.
