Barcelona's Ilaix Moriba 'arrives in Germany to complete RB Leipzig move'

Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba has reportedly arrived in Germany to complete his medical ahead of a summer move to RB Leipzig.

The 18-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Camp Nou and has turned down numerous offers to sign an extension.

According to Sky Sports News, Moriba has arrived in Leipzig to undergo his medical ahead of completing a permanent transfer to the Bundesliga club before the German transfer window closes at 5pm.

The Guinean had previously been linked with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, though the midfielder is understood to have turned down approaches from the two Premier League clubs.

Leipzig are set to pay Barcelona just £5.1m for the teenager, which is significantly lower than the La Liga club's initial valuation of the player, believed to be worth around £17.1m.

Moriba made 14 La Liga appearances for Ronald Koeman's side last season, scoring once and providing three assists.
