Celta Vigo has exercised the buyout clause agreed with RB Leipzig last summer and completed its second signing for next season, signing midfielder Ilaix Moriba. Both the club and the player have shown a strong commitment to ensuring his continuity and long-term development in the team.

In the 2024-25 season, Ilaix Moriba played 33 times in La Liga, with a total playing time of more than 2,000 minutes, and scored a goal for the team in the match against Sevilla. In addition, he also played 2 times in the King's Cup and contributed 1 assist.

At only 22 years old, Elix Moriba stands out with his dynamic and varied playing style. He has excellent stamina and strength, can cover a wide area of the field, has threatening breakthrough ability, and is particularly good at mid-range shooting.

Ilaix Moriba's sharp decision-making ability makes him an indispensable key player in Claudio Giraldes' tactical system.

Celta Vigo is delighted that Ilaix Moriba continues to play for the club and is confident that the talent and dedication the player has shown since joining will continue to drive the club towards its goals.
