Barça must define the future of Riqui Puig in the summer of 2020, and it still doubts whether the best option is a loan or a promotion to the first team. According to the newspaper 'Marca', this is the formula that would be applied to renew the youngster contract

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has several pending questions in the market of signings of the summer 2020, and one of them is the future of Riqui Puig. The midfield player will fulfil 21 years in the month of August, and after the goodbye of Ernesto Valverde, expects to convince to Quique Setién so that it go up him definitively to the first team. The Cantabrian tested him without luck and did not hide that it has to improve, but the club trusts his possibilities.

According to the newspaper 'Mark', the sportive managers culés will renew to the Catalan in the window estival. In these moments his agreement expires on 30 June 2021, and the intention is not having to concern by a possible escape while it decides the best way to develop his talent. Like sucederá with other perlas like Iñaki Crag or as it did in his moment with Carles Pérez, the extension will announce prompt.

The Barcelona will activate the unilateral option that reserved to prolong his links until 2023. This will not do more than confirming that the one of Matadepera is called to an important player in the next years, something that intuyó after his last understanding, in which it planted him a claúsula of rescission of 100 million euros. Now it is in a moment key, because it has to show that it deserves a place.

The quoted half concrete that the technicians will test him in the pre-season and is almost safe that will be with the 'greater' in the course 2020-21. With the crisis of the coronavirus and the more than probableme gone out of Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal, never is of more a reinforcement to cost zero, and more if it is a canterano promising whose virtues, like the vision of game or the ease for the pass, remember to the first versions of Andrés Iniesta.

The cession is not descartada and are arriving offers, but is the own Riqui the one who wants to remain. As it already happened it does a year, the youngster and his surroundings consider that have more possibilities to triumph if they do not move away of the City Condal. In his plans is even remain in the filial and be to horse with the first team, although this only would benefit him if the ones of Francisco Javier García Pepper attain the promotion to Second To.

The Barça has to begin to look downwards

The uncertainty that has caused the crisis has brought several warnings of the experts recommending look to the quarry. The Barça has objective very ambitious like Neymar and Lautaro Martínez, but the economy is not for frights and the products of the house could be the solution for apuntalar the staff. In the last times have had complicated to find his space, but the hour of Oriol Busquets, Juan Miranda, Álex Hill or Riqui Puig -in addition to Ronald Araujo or Jean-Clair Todibo, that are not canteranos- could arrive very soon.
