Moriba once again out of Barca B squad for friendly as extension stand-off continues

 in their third friendly of the pre-season. The note-worthy detail about the match is that 

 has been once again left out. Both from the starting XI and substitutes list.

The 18-year-old travelled with the reserves for their 

. However, it seems like Moriba is only there to train and not play.

. If nothing changes, the Catalans will look to sell the youngster, as Joan Laporta has indicated.

'If he scored against us, he would obviously be promoted': Real Madrid fans react to Moriba contract saga

 high wage demands hasn't gone unnoticed – even some 

 fans on Reddit voice their opinion on the matter.

Let's hear their takes on this complicated situation with one of the biggest La Masia stars involved.

: "Yeah, he could get an injury or other problems in a year. He wants what he thinks his worth is. Just because it's millions for him and not thousands for us. If a company teaches me something but refuses to raise my salary and someone else does, would you stay?"

: " This dude is clearly not worth all this drama. "

: "These youngsters don't seem to get it eh. Even if money is the goal if you excel at your job you will only get paid more in the future. They're looking at short-term high wages whereas if they thought about being at the top of their game at even a mid-level club, they would get a big move in the future. Be the best you can be and you’ll reap the rewards."

: "Good decision. Ilaix is a nobody and somehow wants to get paid an amount of money he doesn't deserve considering he didn't even play that much and he's coming from the academy."

] for this approach. If he won't sign then they have no obligation to play him when they could use that time for a youngster that wants to be there. What team would pay the wages he wants and give him time to develop?"

 : "If he had scored against [Real] Madrid he would be obviously had been promoted to the first team by now."

As a reminder, Laporta left the door open for Moriba's exit and explained that the youngster should accept Barca's offer in order to stay.

Last season, the teenager scored one goal and provided 3 assists for the first team.

Laporta: 'We don't accept such behaviour. If Moriba doesn't want to renew, he has other solutions'

, Joan Laporta was asked to provide an update on the talks with 

"We will try to prevent the Ilaix situation from happening again. He has one year left on his contract and he doesn't want to accept the club's conditions. We do not accept such behaviour and we have to send a message to the academy. If he does not want to renew, he has other solutions," the president said. 

"What we do not want are players that have been developed at home that don't want to renew.  

"He is a player who has been given his opportunities. But the club is above anything else and we can't back down. 

"I would like him to reconsider so that we reach an agreement. We can't promote Ilaix just for him to leave without Barca taking advantage of it. We will not accept this with any player."

Barca have been trying to extend Moriba's contract for a while now, but his representatives are proving to be tough negotiators. It's said that the Catalans don't want to accept the wage demands made by the youngster's agents.

Meanwhile, Ilaix has been dropped from the first team. He has been training with 

 but wasn't called up for any of the pre-season friendlies.

Obviously, what else can the club do ?
Make him the Captain of the B team and the highest earner amongst first team players.
He's a stupid and a very arrogant player, no matter how much money he gets in his career he can't be satisfied.
He's too greedy and ungrateful.

He'll realize his mistakes once he hits the realities of life, this kid is living in a dreamworld of his own.

M-S-N

Very soon even Malaga will not ask for you on their bench wise up Little man.

What an idiot this Guy is, he gets the chance to play in the best team in the world, play alongside players like Messi and Bussy, and then thinks about money when he’s 18 years old!!!!!!!what an idiot! Seriously I wasn’t even impressed by his play last season. He is to slow! we don’t need slow players in the team. I am way more impressed by the 16 year old Gavi.
