Ilaix Moriba, born on 19 January 2003 (age 23), is a Guinea midfielder with Celta Vigo. A central midfielder by trade, he is still in the developing category rather than the finished article, though he has now put together a meaningful run of senior football.
His most productive league season came with Celta in 2025–26, when he scored two goals in 36 appearances. That is not a gaudy return, but it does point to regular involvement in a demanding league, which is usually more useful than the usual noise around young midfielders.
In 2026–27, Moriba has made 11 LaLiga appearances and scored once, along with three Europa League outings for Celta Vigo. His season total stands at 14 appearances and one goal across all competitions.
Moriba’s career so far is that of a young Guinea international working through the harder part of becoming an established senior midfielder. At Celta Vigo, he has moved beyond promise alone and into regular first-team football.
