Premier League clubs are encouraged as Ilaix Moriba's new contract talks with Barcelona continue to drag on.

Moriba and Barcelona are still trying to reach an agreement over a new contract for the youngster this summer.

While this goes on, however, there are various clubs who could try and tempt the 18-year-old away from the Camp Nou, with a switch to the Premier League being rumoured.

Fichajes.net reports Chelsea and Manchester City are considering a move for Ilaix.

It must also be remembered that the midfielder has already rejected a contract renewal from Barcelona as he believed that the offer was too low.
