Gol Digital says the young Barça player has become a target for Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
Ronald Koeman’s side is eager to tie the wonderful boy to a new contract, given that his contract expires next year, but he has yet to put pen to paper.

Mikel Arteta’s men are now apparently considering making an offer, in an attempt to bring him to Arsenal.
If the Gunners got the teenager, he would be a tremendously exciting addition to an Arsenal youth team.
Moriba has played four league games with Barça this season and has already scored for the senior team.
He is considered one of the most promising talents in his academy at the moment, and has already been compared to Paul Pogba.
“He is physically very strong, but he is also a very intelligent player,” former coach Denis Silva Puig previously told Bleacher Report.
“Most people don’t appreciate this. Here they call him the ‘Pogba del Barça’ because he is like a young Pogba, but he is also very, very intelligent, and that is his great potential. He is a top player, without a doubt.

“It’s a bit, maybe modern, in the English football sense. It is good to have him at Barça. The academy can’t be all about Riqui [Puig]So the Monchus, talented little players. Soccer trends change every year, every month, but Ilaix is here not because he is tall or strong, but because he is very good in all facets of the game.
Arsenal, of course, signed Cesc Fabregas from Barça when he was young, and that move was brilliant for them.
Arteta will likely try to repeat the trick here, although Moriba is in no rush to leave.
The report claims that he is happy with Barca, but if a big offer of money comes from the Premier League, then his head could turn.
