For a few days now, it has been rumoured that Riqui Puig would not be in Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez's plans for next season.
The La Masia product has reportedly reached an agreement to join Los Angeles Galaxy.
In their bid to make space in their salary cap and cash in on players who will not get any playing time this season, Barcelona will offload Puig to the MLS side.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Puig will put pen to paper on a three-year deal and he is already in LA where he is expected to pass his medical.
Barcelona tried to offload Puig in the past, but the 23-year-old midfielder asked for an opportunity to establish himself in the team's starting line-up.
He joined Barcelona back in 2014 but never managed to live up to expectations at the Camp Nou.
Meanwhile, the Blaugrana also want to part ways with fringe players Neto, Martin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti.

Sorry but I disagree! Gavi is better technically than Puig.
I see Gavi with a lot of brute force in his play not too much of technicality. More stronger and can penetrate oppositions half with that strength he possesses which is an advantage he has over Puig.

it's very true bro far better than Gavi in terms of ball play but he can't hold ball and opponents usually steal ball from him due to his physic...
no bruh. Don't lie to yourself

Puigs problem has always been his physique. Technically he is better than Gavi and Nico but physically not strong. And swing the physicality in modern football, he needs to toughen up in order to cement his play in any team.

On thing for sure about this La Masia product is; he is a good passer, quick, have Titi Taka DNA, can dribble but his stature and strength is the problem he needs to have special diet and do more physicals to develop his muscles
That is what I am thinking about he look like babies 👶 at age of 23
