Ilaix Moriba
22-Year-Old
Celta Vigo
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Moriba made 33 appearances in 2024/25 and gradually became more involved in midfield as the season progressed. He recorded one goal and one assist while providing physical presence in a box-to-box role, with brilliant defensive contributions that included 68 tackles, 14 interceptions, and 28 clearances, all career highs in league play. He also logged the second-highest number of minutes among midfielders, behind only the reliable Fran Beltran. His growing influence convinced the Celta Vigo board to extend his stay for the four next seasons. If he maintains that trajectory, Moriba could take on an even more consistent starting role in 2025/26.
Signs with Celta Vigo until 2029
Moriba has signed a contract with Celta Vigo until 2029, joining from Leipzig on a permanent move, his new club announced.
ANALYSIS
Moriba had a complete season with Celta Vigo while on loan from Leipzig, appearing in 33 games, scoring once and providing one assist while contributing brilliantly in the defensive area with 68 tackles, 14 interceptions and 28 clearances. Moriba convinced the Spanish club to sign him for the next four seasons, and he will surely be a key player in the midfield moving forward. That said, his ability to anchor the midfield with strength and consistency could help stabilize Celta's spine next season, especially in Europe.
