Barcelona are sweating on negotiations with whizkid Ilaix Moriba over a first pro deal.

With Manchester City also in contact, the future of Ilaix will be settled on January 19 when he turns 16 years of age.

The 15 year-old attacker has been with Barca for seven years and is currently playing with youngsters three years his senior in the Juvenil A team.

City are eager to ferry Ilaix away from La Masia next month and an offer is on the table.

But Mundo Deportivo says there's a confidence inside Barca that he will commit to pro terms with them.
