Barcelona star refuses to play for Spain

The young player, who plays for the Spanish National Team in the lower age categories, made a surprising choice.

Young player Ilaix Moriba, who was included in the A team squad in Barcelona last season and attracted attention with his performance when he got a chance in La Liga, added a new one to his surprise decisions. Moriba, who was excluded from the squad for not signing a new contract before, refused to play for the Spain National Team this time.

While the father of the 18-year-old player, who played for the Spain U17 National Team five times before, had a meeting with the Guinea Football Federation officials, this decision came out of the meeting. Born to a Liberian father and Guinean mother, Moriba settled in Spain as a child and obtained Spanish citizenship.

Moriba, who will be the new star of Guinea, who is in the 76th place in the FIFA ranking and has no significant success in the history of football, is expected to be invited to the squad in the World Cup Qualification matches where his country will play against Morocco and Guinea Bissau, and to appear in the first official matches for his country.
