Barcelona decided to demote Moriba to the reserves, where he will train under Sergi Barjuan, after the player turned down the club's contract renewal offer.

The 18-year-old midfielder was promoted to the seniors by Ronald Koeman last season and was even given playing time in important games in the final stretch of the course.

However, talks over a potential contract extension have stalled and Barcelona decided that Moriba, whose current deal expires next summer, will start pre-season with Barcelona B.
