Barcelona director of football points out that he never said that Riqui had to leave, but reiterates that sometimes a transfer is beneficial.
After officially confirmed the transfer of Carles Alena to Betis, Kluivert valued it positively and commented on the 'butterfly effect' that could happen with Riqui Puig as the protagonist.
"I think it can help him, but it depends on the coach". he said in El Transistor de Wave Cero.
"My words were not that Riqui has to leave, but that if there is no room, you have to look for him. Everyone wants to play in the first team, but you also have to look for the interests of oneself. I think it's not bad to go out to another team to grow up."

As far as I can remember there hasn't been any player that went on loan from Barça that came back and ended up becoming an important first team player in Barca I hope the case is different for Alena

But many players left la masia and came back as stars in the team like febregas, pique, alba and many left and now stars in their teams like thiago
the all where sold at La Masia but nobody who reaches the first team and leaves on loan is able to reestablish himself

Puig is good enough to play first team but he must also loan because of we have more midfield players like Vidal ,buscuit,dejong,rakitic, Artur melo, we have more midfield players so send him a good team on loan with out options to buy him we need him in the future when we sack valverdi #Valverdiout forca bara🔵🔴
Bullshit... Puig has the quality and ability to challenge and surpass every fucking body in that midfield in pecking other ...

Alena just needs that tiny bit of clarity in his decision making and he will be a force to reckon with at Barca along with Jong, Arthur and Puig
