In a strategic move in the transfer market, Celta de Vigo has secured the loan of the talented midfielder Ilaix Moriba from RB Leipzig. This agreement not only strengthens the Galician team but also marks a masterstroke in their rivalry with Sevilla, who were also interested in the young player.
Sevilla had shown a strong interest in Moriba due to the recommendation of their new coach, García Pimienta. The coach knows the player well from their time at FC Barcelona's youth academy and saw him as a key piece to bolster their midfield. However, Celta moved swiftly and managed to finalize the deal with the German club, gaining a significant advantage in the race for the player.

The deal between Celta and Leipzig includes a buyout clause, which could allow the Spanish team to secure Moriba's services permanently at the end of the season. This clause demonstrates Celta's confidence in the potential of the young player, who, at 21 years old, has already proven to be a promising talent with outstanding performances in both the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Moriba arrives in Vigo hoping to earn playing time and further his development under Claudio Giráldez's guidance. The Celta fans expect his presence in midfield to be decisive in achieving the club's goals this season. With this g, Celta not only enhances their squad but also sends a clear message of their ambitions in Spanish football.
