In a strategic move that could change the course of the season for Getafe, young talent Ilaix Moriba, 20, is close to joining the team on loan until the end of the season. Information published by journalist Matteo Moretto suggests that the Spanish midfielder, who is currently lacking playing time at RB Leipzig, is seeking a return to LaLiga to revive his career.
Moriba, whose contract with Leipzig runs until 2026, is aiming for more playing time and has his sights set on Getafe as his next destination. This opportunity would represent the third chapter of his career in Spain, following his time with FC Barcelona, where he trained and made his professional debut, and Valencia CF.

With his arrival at Getafe, Moriba could be a key part of José Bordalás’ plan, joining a team that currently sits eighth in LaLiga with 28 points, just three points away from the coveted qualification spots for European competitions.
Moriba, a reinforcement for the midfield
Getafe’s decision to loan Moriba not only meets the player’s individual needs, but also reflects the team’s ambition to strengthen its midfield. The Bordalás-led team is looking for more rotation in midfield and is counting on Moriba as an option who can make a difference and contribute to the fight for a place in European competitions. With Moriba in their ranks, Getafe are aiming to establish themselves as serious contenders in LaLiga and face the challenges that lie ahead in the final stretch of the season with greater strength.
