Riqui Puig has signed a three-year contract with the LA Galaxy after leaving Barcelona on a permanent basis. Documents are presently being prepared.
Sell on clause included – green light received yesterday and it’s now only a matter of time.
Source confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
Puig joined the Barcelona youth academy in 2013 and made his first-team debut in 2018. He has subsequently made 60 appearances for the club, although despite being projected as one of Barcelona’s future foundations when he initially broke through, he has never established himself as a regular.
Ernesto Valverde used him little, while Quique Setien gave him more regular playing time. Ronald Koeman, who took over for Setien, recommended Puig to go out on loan to play more often, but Puig decided to stay and compete for his spot.
Puig’s condition was not improved by Xavi’s return last season, and after appearing only 18 times in all competitions in 2021-22, a transfer away seemed imminent.
