'Bombshell'! The Barça would meditate to give the letter of freedom to Riqui Puig

The participation of Riqui Puig in the season 2021-22 resume in 380 minutes on thefield , with a goal in 15 apparitions with the FC Barcelona. The one of Matadepera only has played 25 minutes in the last four months, by which the directive considers indispensable to give him gone out in summer, even with letter of freedom if they do not arrive offers by him. With agreement until June of 2023, the time of the midfield player in Catalonia seems to have finished.

In accordance with the newspaper 'SPORT', the consensus of the managerial is that "Riqui Puig has to go out yes or yes this summer". It is clear that Xavi Hernández does not trust the player of 22 years, the one who has not played a minute in the last 10 parties of the Barça. His last apparition dates of 13 March in the goleada in front of Osasuna (4-0). This day contested 17 minutes in Camp Nou and converted a goal, his only so much of the season.

The last time that Riqui contested 90 minutes was on 2 January in field of the Mallorca (triumph 0-1). The numerous drops forced to the technician egarense to bet by an eleven totally alternative this day and the midfield player fulfilled. However, four days later would arrive his 'sentence'. Xavi put him of start in front of Linares by the dieciseisavos of final of the Glass of Rey (victory 1-2), but after a first grey part of all the team substituted him in the rest.

From then, only it saw to Puig 17 minutes in front of Osasuna and eight more in front of the Napoli in Italy (2-4). 25 minutes that reflect his conviction to the ostracism, which neither has helped to add clubs interested in the midfield player. In fact, they have been very few the queries by his situation, so much so the directive would opt for giving him the letter of freedom with a year of antelación, since a cession neither seems to be a viable solution.

The club prefers to leave him go free this same summer

For the Barça, the ideal would be to sell him by a near figure to the 10 million euros, although for the moment there are not formal offers. Another alternative would be to apply a similar plan to the of Samuel Umtiti: renew him to go down his wage and, there yes, look for him a cession. However, this would be the less viable option for the directive, whose mission is to lighten the staff and give him gone out to all the players with which Xavi do not explain. Of this way, the future of Riqui Puig in the Barça is near to resolve of a sad way, but apparently unavoidable.
