Riqui Puig has a valid contract with Barcelona until 2023, but his lack of a place in Xavi Hernández 's project for this season would have pushed him to look for exit options, and one of them would be Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 22-year-old midfielder would already have an agreement with the American team. His departure could be arranged in the next few hours, mainly because soccer players can only be registered in MLS until August 4.
Although his initial intention was to remain in the Blaugrana team to convince the coach and win a position, not being part of the preparation tour of the United States forced him to change his mind in the short term.
In his last season with Barcelona, between local and international competitions, the native of Matadepera played 17 games and only scored one goal. Meanwhile, there were many in which he was a substitute and did not enter.
re looking for options, and we're helping them so they can play; they know it's going to be impossible here," Xavi said a few days ago at a press conference about the future of Puig, Neto, Oscar Mingueza, and Martin Braithwaite.
