Real Madrid in the race to sign Barcelona prodigy Ilaix Moriba?

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the club group preparing a move from Barcelona youngster Ilaix Moriba in the summer transfer window.

The Catalan giants continue to struggle to convince the 18-year-old to sign a new deal at the Camp Nou.

He is believed to be a Manchester United target as his existing contract expires next summer.

According to Goal, Los Blancos are trying to convince the Spaniard of a controversial move to the Bernabeu.

However, the report claims that moving to the Spanish capital is “very difficult”.

Manchester United reportedly made a “specific offer” for the playmaker earlier this year but have been informed by the Catalan side that he is not for sale.
