According to the newspaper AS and the journalist Albert Roge, Riqui Puig is close to becoming a new Los Angeles player MLS Angels Galaxy. It only remains for them to close certain final details of the operation. The FC Barcelona He is working to save an option for the future, although he will not have a percentage for the future sale of the footballer.
Riqui Puig was one of the first Xavi Hernández discards for the next season and the player was looking for a new destination because he would not have minutes in the rotation. He did not go to the club’s preseason in the United States to try to finalize his future.
Riqui Puig, a “young promise” that came to nothing
The player’s exit is not surprising. He never trusted a coach within the club, despite the fact that many fans on social media placed him at a level that he is not at and he never will. He is not a bad footballer, but he never showed that he was at the level of being in a top-level team in Europe. They sold him as the new Xavi or Iniesta with just minutes in the first team.
Riqui Puig was never an important footballer at FC Barcelona because he never counted for all the coaches who passed through the bench of the Blaugrana team. And, with the arrival of Xavi, everyone thought it was going to be his moment to shine, but it was he who gave him the final blow to finish his stage at the club.
The reality is that, like everything that happens in the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona environment, everything is overvalued to the point that they see things that are not. Riqui Puig, like many academy players from La Masia or great signings from the merengue team, have come to nothing because they are not as good as they are made out to be. A reality check.
