The young FC Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba denounced this Monday evening via his TikTok account the very serious racist insults he received on social networks. In the video shown by Ilaix Moriba on
TikTok
, the footballer can be seen sitting and shaking his head negatively as he reads the messages and writes “
Checking social media
”
in English
. Then, as the offensive messages appear, we read in English: “
Really?
»(Trad: really?)
"
Nobody wants a black like you
", "
Naughty monkey
" or even "
If I see you, I stab you
", are some of the insults that the 18-year-old received via his Instagram account. Intolerable remarks he receives while he and his agent are still in talks with FC Barcelona for the extension of his contract. After the publication of his video, many supporters gave him their support, making it clear that no matter if he stays at the club or not, nothing justifies these words.
Under contract until 2022, the Catalans want to extend what is considered a key element for the future of the club. Arrived in 2010 at the FC Barcelona training center, he played 14 games for the first team this season and scored one goal and delivered three assists. Deadlocked for the renewal of his contract, Ilaix is training with the reserve team and is not even allowed to participate in the matches due to the decision of the club, who are annoyed by the way the player and his agents manage negotiations.
They would demand too high a salary as FC Barcelona tries to reduce its payroll in order to extend Lionel Messi. According to the latest information from Mundo Deportivo, the midfielder is keen to stay and the club are making considerable efforts to renew his contract. Ronald Koeman would like to include him in the squad that leaves for Germany on Wednesday, where the team will do a pre-season camp until August 3.
