Ajax had strong competition for the midfielder, but the Spanish club's stance on Moriba remained firm. The Amsterdam side's search for a suitable number six was eventually completed with the signing of Julian Brandt and Sofyan Amrabat. Ajax's interest in Moriba was one of several external options being considered by the club.
Celta de Vigo considers Moriba an important player, which explains the club's reluctance to let him go. Ajax was not the only club interested in hiring Moriba on loan with an option to buy, as Besiktas and Bayer Leverkusen also made bids for the midfielder. However, all of these clubs were rejected by Celta de Vigo.
The transfer window has now closed, and Moriba will remain at Celta de Vigo for the foreseeable future.
