Multiple Sources: Leipzig's Moriba set for Valencia loan-out
Spanish radio and Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano currently report that RB Leipzig attacking prospect Ilaix Moriba is set to be loaned out to Valencia for the duration of the season.
En route back to Germany after Guinea were eliminated at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, 18-year-old Ilaix Moriba is apparently about to get his desired loan-out. Spanish radio broadcaster Cadena COPE and Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano report on an impending move to Valencia until the end of the season.
Not exactly keen on loaning out their disaffected youth prospect, Leipzig are reportedly only interested in a short-term arrangement with no purchase clause. This detail of the deal is reported by Spanish sports daily Diary AS, which also notes that the teenager will travel straight to Spain for a medical.
The La Liga club are keen to complete the deal and can potentially offer Moriba his desired playing time. AS further reports that the youngster is lined up as Danish midfielder Daniel Wass' replacement. The Dane is reportedly on his way to Athletico Madrid.
Update #Moriba: His loan to @valenciacf is getting closer. Several clubs are interested but #ValenciaCF has got the pole position. Leipzig is open, player & his management want the deal. Negotiations are ongoing. Plan: Loan until summer, restart at RB. @SkySports @philipphinze24
