The future of Riqui Puig in the Barcelona is uncertain. The intention of the míster is to yield it, so that have more minutes, but the canterano wants to triumph in the Barça

Calendar of FC Barcelona

After the meeting in front of the Elche CF, in the Trophy Joan Gamper, Ronald Koeman, in press conference, warned that his intention for Riqui Puig was that it went out yielded to the team that he same chose. To fault of two weeks for the closing of the market of signings, the one of Matadepera has to take a decision trascendente for his future like professional footballer. The canterano only has three options on the table: be still in the Barça, leave yielded or leave traspasado.

Be still in the Barça

It is not the first time that the club interprets that the best for the evolution of the young player is to go out yielded. In previous occasions the player has not listened the recommendations and has followed working to litigate a place in the team. His intention, this time, is the same. If something has clear Riqui Puig, is that it wants to be still in the Barça and triumph with the team that saw him grow.

The problem, obviously, is the fault of minutes. Taking into account that the FC Barcelona of Koeman will play, after a lot of years, without interiors; Riqui Puig would see forced to reconvert in pivote or half tip. In both positions there is a lot of competition for the titularity and the canterano needs minutes to progress and mature like footballer.

Go out yielded

It is the option that poses him the club. Offers do not are missing him to the young perla of The Farm: Betis, Celtic, Granada, Alavés or Ajax have asked to the player, in quality of loan for this season that begins. Also important teams of the Bundesliga have followed closely to the player, although, what is evident is that his progression will be better in a team that play with the balloon of reference.

It treats of a key decision. We can not explain, with the fingers of two hands, the quantity of players that promised in the filial and that, after a cession to a mistaken team, have disappeared of the map. Also they exist cases in that the election of team is good and even so it does not work; as it was the case of Aleñá, the past season, in the Real Betis.

Go out traspasado

It is, perhaps it is the most traumatic option, for the player, for the fans and for the club. Riqui Puig is more than a player of The Farm, is the representative of a philosophy of game, of a form to do, of the values of the FC Barcelona. Possibly, the option of traspasarlo is the less likely of the three, since the index card of the player neither is inasumible, and would not have felt to give off of him.
