Barcelona President Joan Laporta has revealed the club are willing to part company with Ilaix Moriba.

Moriba's representatives are currently in talks with the La Liga giants over a new contract at the Nou Camp.

But reports suggest that the 18-year-old's reps have made a series of outrageous demands to the club who are still in dire financial straits.

The Blaugrana are eager to retain the Guinean-born Spaniard's services, but Laporta insists the club won't be held to ransom.

 “We will try to make sure that his case is not repeated anymore.

"He has one year left on his contract and does not want to accept the club’s conditions.

"We do not accept that and we want to send a message to the team. If you do not want to renew, we have other solutions.

"He’s a player we’ve given opportunities, but the club is above all. I would like you Moriba to think again.

“We cannot allow him to be promoted and then leave. We won’t accept that with any player.

"If he wants to go, it’s because he has other options, he can leave the club,” Barca President Laporta said.
