Beşiktaş is seriously interested in Ilaix Moriba, a 23-year-old Guinean midfielder who currently plays for Celta Vigo and is a product of the Barcelona academy. It was also noted that the Beşiktaş management is continuing its contacts for the player. Moriba, who has 25 caps and one goal for Guinea, joined Celta in July 2025 and his contract runs until 2029. He has also drawn interest from clubs including Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. According to recent reports from July 2026, Celta de Vigo's asking price for the player is around €20 million. A €15 million offer from Galatasaray was reportedly rejected in June 2026.
